Exam 2- CN 9 Flashcards
Glossopharyngeal carries what kind of fibers
Motor, sensory, and autonomic fibers
Glossohpharyngeal is a __________ cranial nerve
Mixed
CN9 gives motor innervation to
Stylopharyngeus
CN 9 gives sensory info from
The pharynx, including taste info from the posterior tongue
CN 9 gives parasympathetic info leading to the
Parotid and other glands
Motor fibers for CN9 arise from cell bodies located in
Superior part of nucleus ambiguus
Aka brachiomotor vs. somatomotor
Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers for CN 9 arise
From the inferior salivary nucleus
Afferent CN9 sensory fibers terminate in
Solitary nucleus
How many peripheral ganglia are associated with CN9
2
What are the peripheral ganglia associated with CN9
Superior ganglion-smaller
Inferior ganglion
Autonomic fibers for CN9 synapse in
The otic ganglion
General sensory info carried in CN9 is from
Nasopharynx, oropharynx, and portion of the tongue posterior to the sulcus terminal is, uvula, and palatine tonsils
General sensation from the________________ is also carried in CN9
Tympanic cavity
Tympanic cavity sensation is carried by CN9 and cell bodies are located in the ______________
Inferior ganglion.
Then info is conveyed to the CNS and synapse in the Spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve
Taste info from posterior to the sulcus terminal is is carried by neuron from the _____________.
Inferior ganglion
Axons from these cells synapse in the Superior part of the solitary nucleus.
Incoming fibers from the inferior ganglion do synapse in the lower part of the solitary nucleus. They carry _______________ info from the ________ and _________.
Visceral afferent
Carotid sinus and carotid body
