Exam 2: CN8 Flashcards
CN 8 purely
Sensory
CN 8 composed of 2 Nerves:
Vestibular
Cochlear
Vestibular N terminates in
Vestibular nuclear complex
Vestibular nuclear complex consists of 4 parts
Superior
Medial - most synapse
Lateral
Inferior
Fibers carried in vestibular nerve arise from cell bodies located in
Vestibular ganglion
Vestibular ganglion located
Internal acoustic meatus
Cochlear nerve termites in
2 cochlear nuclei: anterior and posterior
Cochlear nerve composed of axons from
Spiral ganglion
In cochlear nerve, peripheral processes extend from __ to ___
Spiral ganglion
Spiral organ
2 cochlear nuclei located in
Posterior, superior MO
From cochlear nuclei, axons synapse in
Trapezoid nuclei
Axons from trapezoid nuclei form
Lateral lemniscus
Peripheral processes from vestibular ganglion extend to 3 inner ear structures
Saccule
Utricle
Semicircular ducts
Vestibular nuclei located in
MO, floor of rhomboid fossa
Most vestibular nerve fibers terminate in
Medial vestibular nucleus
