Exam II Nuclei and Ganglion (3), 5, 7, 9, 10, 12

Question 1

What are the three general sensory nuclei of the trigeminal nerve? What is the motor nucleus called and where is it located on the brain stem?

Answer 1

Mesencephalic, Pontine Trigeminal, Nucleus of spinal tract V. Trigeminal motor nucleus, located at the pons of the brain stem

Question 2

What general senory modality does the mesencephalic nucleus handle?

Answer 2

Muscle proprioception

Question 3

Which general sensory nucleus of V processes touch sensation? Which one processes pain and temperature?

Answer 3

Pontine Trigeminal.Nucleus of Spinal Tract V

Question 4

What is the motor nucleus of CN V called and where is it located on the brain stem? Which division of CN V contains motor fibers?

Answer 4

Trigeminal motor nucleus.Only the V3 division of CN V carries branchial motor fibers

Question 5

What muscles does the branchial motor V3 innervate?

Answer 5

Musles of mastication (MTML).Tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid, anterior belly of the digastric.IOW: 4 muscles of Mastication and 4 other muscles

Question 6

What four nuclei handle CN VII innervation?

Answer 6

Motor nucleus of VII (pons)Superior Salivatory NucleusNucleus of Spinal Tract of VNuclues Solitarus

Question 7

The Nucleus of Spinal Tract of V, handles general sensory innervation for what three cranial nerves, besides V? Does it handle all the general sensory modalities of these three CNs? What general sensory modality does it handle in CN V?

Answer 7

VII, IX, X.Yes, it handles all the general sensory modalities for CN VII, IX, X. However, for CN V itself, it only handles the pain and temperature modality.

Question 8

T/F CN IX and X share nuclei for all three sensory fiber types and motor innervation (except parasympathetic).

Answer 8

True

Question 9

What nucleus handles the special sensory and visceral sensory innervation CN IX, X? Is the special sensory of VII also handled by this nucleus?

Answer 9

Nucleus Solitarius (pons).Yes, VII special sensory (taste) is also handled by Nucleus solitarius

Question 10

What special sensation is innervated by CN VII, IX, X? What nucleus is it handled by for all three CNs?

Answer 10

Taste.Nucleus Solitarius

Question 11

Which nucleus handles the branchial motor innervation CN IX and X?

Answer 11

Nucleus Ambiguus

Question 12

What are the four parasympathetic nuclei for CN III, VII, IX, X?

Answer 12

III - Edinger Westphal VII - Superior SalivatoryIX - Inferior SalivatoryX - Dorsal Vagal Motor

Question 13

Where are the general sensory cell bodies of CN V?

Answer 13

Trigeminal ganglion

Question 14

Where are the general and special sensory cell bodies of CN VII?

Answer 14

Question 15

Where are the general, special, and visceral sensory cell bodies of CN IX?

Answer 15

Question 16

Where are the general, special, and visceral sensory cell bodies of CN X?

Answer 16
