V Trigeminal:mastication and sensation to the mouth=both
VI Abducens: eye balls(running vision)= motor
VII Facial:facial movements, taste, salivary glands=both
VIII Vestibulocochlear: hearing and balance=sensory

Q

Explain the term afferent nerve

A

afferent=sensory=up ( ARRIVE) ASCENDING SIGNALS

  • Information from periphery to brain ex: smell, pain
  • neurons located outside of the CNS

Q

define the term cranial nerve

A
  • part of the peripheral nervous system
  • provide the head & neck musculature with motor commands, & send sensory information from the head and neck to the brain.

16
Q

What is the function of the V Trigemal nerve?

A

Sensory and motor= MASTICATION & SENSATION TO THE FACE.
OPTHALMIC: forehead, eyes, nose (sens)
MAXILLAR: upper lip/teeth, cheeks & palate
MANDIBULAR: tongue, mandible, lower lip/teeth, cheeks, parts of ext. ear
MOTOR FUNCTION: UMN BILATERAL INNERVATION from the cortex to the LMN 50-50 (masseter,temporalis, external/internal pterygoid, anterior belly of digastric, tensor veli palatini, tensor tympani)

17
Q

What is the function of the VI Abducens nerve?

A

Unilateral innervation of the muscles that move the eyeball laterally (side to side)

18
Q

What is the function of the VII facial nerve?

A

FACIAL, SALIVARY GLAND
3 nuclei in brainstem
-Motor: innervates all facial muscles Parasympathetic :innervates glands of eyes and under tongue
-Sensory nucleus taste of 1st 2/3rd of tongue
Innervates: bilateral inn. of upper face muscles
unilateral/contralateral motor inn. of lower face (Only contralateral)

19
Q

What is the function of the VIII vestibulocochlear nerve?

A

HEARING AND BALANCE-sensory
oThe spiral ganglion contains the bipolar cells that innervate the cochlea
oThe Scarpa’s ganglion containing the bipolar cells that innervate the labyrinth.

20
Q

What is the function of the IX Glossopharyngeal nerve?

A
VELAR MOVEMENTS/TASTE: motor-sensory

24
Q

Define Bilateral innervation

A

muscles innervated by cranial nerves that receive fibers from both cerebral hemispheres 50-50

25
Q

Unilateral innervation:

A

cranial nerves receive only information from one hemisphere 80-20.

26
Q

Contralateral innervation:

A

opposites sides

27
Q

Ipsilateral innervation:

A

same sides

28
Q

problems with XII hypoglossal

A

LESIONS
LMN and peripheral : Tongue deviation to the same side of lesion during protrusion; Flaccid paralysis of the tongue; Fasciculation; Atrophy on the weak/paralyzed side
-UMN and corticobulbar : Tongue deviations to the opposite side of the lesion during protrusion

LESIONS
upper=opposite side weak
lower=same side weak
innervates contralateral

29
Q

problems with olfactory

A

-Loss of ABILIITY TO SMELL= boxers due to head injuries (anosmia), unilateral (rarely)-bilateral.
-Causes : Viral infections due to MENIOGIOMA & METASTASIS metastasis
Red flag: complaints of loss of taste; could be an early sign of Parkinson disease

30
Q

problems with the optic nerve

A

problems: hemanopsia & quandratanopsia

31
Q

problems with vestibulocochlear nerve/clinical notes of cranial nerve VIII

A
  • SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS (not conductive) & VERTIGO
  • possible in connection with BALANCE PROBLEMS (often tested in connection with cranial nerves responsible for eye movement).
32
Q

what can cause sensory lesions to the V trigeminal?

A

trauma, tumor metastasis, herpes zoster, trigeminal neuralgia

33
Q

causes of problems with VIII vestibulocochlear nerve?
