c. abducens nerve
The abducens nerve communicates with ____ for the sympathetic nervous system.
Branch from the internal carotid plexus
Name the nerve which might cause converging strabismus with its lesion.
Compromised Abducens nerve
Name the sensory root of the facial cranial nerve.
Nervus intermedius
The apparent origin of the facial nerve lies at the inferior pontine sulcus, just lateral to the recess between _____________ and ___________.
olive and inferior cerebellar peduncle
Name four cranial nuclei and their modality related with the facial nerve.
nucleus of the facial nerve - branchial motor (efferent) - reticular formation nucleus of origin / superior salivatory - visceral motor (efferent) - reticular formation nucleus of origin / tractus solitarius - special sense (parasympathetic) - medulla oblongata - sends fibers to thalamus (nucleus of termination) / Spinal nucleus of trigeminal - somatic sensory
Name four cranial nuclei and their target organ(s) related with the facial nerve.
The facial nerve supplies branchial efferent fibers to the facialand auricular muscles, Superior salivatory nucleus sends its visceral efferent fibers to join the nervus intermedius, Tractus solitarius nucleus (upper part) receives taste sense fibers from the sensory root and sends efferent fibers to ventral lateral thalamus nuclei opposite side,Spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve receives general sensory fibers through the sensory root from the skin of the auricular concha and external acoustic meatus by the temporal nerve
Name the nucleus, which sends visceral motor fibers to the submandibular, sublingual & lacrimal glands.
Superior salivatory nucleus
Nervus intermedius
Name the visceral efferent cranial nucleus and their peripheral ganglion.
superior salvitory
At the lateral end of the acoustic meatus, the facial nerve enters the _____ to reach the ______.
Facial Canal, stylomastoid foramen
Name four nerves, which communicate with the facial nerve at the stylomastoid foramen.
Glossopharyngeal, vagus, great auricular, & auriculotemporal nerves.
Name two ganglia, which communicate with the genicular ganglion.
pterygopalatine ganglion through the greater petrosal nerve, otic ganglion through the lesser petrosal nerve
Name the modality(s) of the greater petrosal nerve.
Special Visceral Afferent (taste)
The greater petrosal nerve conveys between ____ and ____.
the palate and preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the lacrimal, nasal and palatine mucosal glands
The deep petrosal nerve conveys between ____ and ____.
internal carotid plexus and the nerve of the pterygoid canal
The lesser petrosal nerve conveys between ____ and ____.
facial nerve (near the genicular ganglion) and the otic ganglion
In the foramen lacerum, the greater petrosal nerve joined with the ____ from _____ & it becomes the nerve of the pterygoid canal.
deep petrosalnerve from the internal carotid plexus
Before (after?) the facial nerve emerges from the stylomastoid foramen, it receives the auricular nerve from the _____.
Great auricular nerve?
Name the nervous communications in sequence from the genicular ganglion to the pterygopalatine ganglion or the visceral efferent fibers.
Genicular ganglion, greater petrosal hiatus, groove for the greater petrosal nerve, under trigeminal ganglion, formen lacerum, deep petrosal nerve, nerve of the peterygoid canal
Name the two nerves, which join and become the nerve to the pterygoid canal.
