Exam 1 Flashcards
Facial nerve paralysis?
Bell’s palsy
What is the motor innervation to the muscles of facial expression?
Branches of the facial nerve (7)
What is the sensory innervation to the face?
Branches of the trigeminal nerve (5)
The trigeminal nerve divides into three branches before emerging on the face. What are they and where are they distributed?
1) ophthalmic nerve: primarily to the face and scalp
2) maxillary nerve: primarily to the cheek and the area lateral to the orbit.
3) mandibular nerve: primarily to the chin and temporal region.
The ophthalmia nerve further divides into these 5 branches.
1) supraorbital nerve
2) supratrochlear nerve
3) external nasal nerve
4) infratrochlear nerve
5) lacrimal nerve
The maxillary nerve further divides into these three branches.
1) zygomaticotemporal nerve
2) zygomaticofacial nerve
3) infraorbital nerve
The mandibular nerve further divides into these three branches.
1) auriculotemporal nerve
2) buccal nerve
3) mental nerve
A condition characterized by sudden attacks of severe pain occurring in an area of sensory distribution of the trigeminal nerve.
Trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is often due to what and occurs most frequently in what division?
- Often due to touch.
- Most common in maxillary, then mandibular, then ophthalmic division.
- Cause is unknown.
- spinal trigeminal nucleus extends down to c4 and is involved with pain reception from the face.
The greater occipital nerve supplies what?
(Posterior primary ramus of C2) supplies the occipital region.
* behind the ear
The third occipital nerve supplies what?
(Posterior primary ramus of C3) supplies the upper part of the back of the neck.
* angle of mandible and area below the ear.
What does the posterior primary ramus of C4 supply?
Supplies the lower part of the back of the neck.
Which cervical nerve has no posterior root carrying sensory fibers and is strictly a motor nerve?
C1
The sensory innervation of the posterior aspect of the neck and scalp is from the posterior (dorsal) primary rami of which cervical nerves?
2 to 4
The cervical plexus is formed by the anterior primary rami of?
C1, C2, C3, and C4
What supplies sensory innervation to the skin of the upper arm?
C5, C6, C7, and C8
The lesser occipital nerve supplies what?
(C2) supplies the lateral part of the occipital region, posterior to the ear.
The great auricular nerve supplies what?
(C2, C3) supplies the angle of the mandible, and the area inferior to the ear. It accompanies the external jugular vein.
What does the transverse cervical nerve supply?
(C2,C3) supplies the anterior surface of the neck (the throat).
What does the supraclavicular nerve supply?
(C3,C4) supplies the lateral surface of the neck.
What are the three subdivisions of the supraclavicular nerve?
1) medial supraclavicular nerve
2) intermediate supraclavicular nerve
3) lateral supraclavicular nerve
The superior root (C1 or C1 and C2) of the ansa cervicalis descends from what nerve to join the inferior root?
Hypoglossal nerve.
The inferior root (C2 and C3) of the ansa cervicalis descends from the what to join the superior root?
Cervical nerve branches
The superior and inferior roots unite to form the ansa cervicalis, which as a whole (C1,C2,C3) supplies three of the four infrahyoid muscles. Name the three.
Sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and omohyoid
