Final Condensed SG Flashcards
What is the function of CN I?
olfactory/smell
What is the function of CN II?
optic/sight
What does CN III innervate?
Test q
CN III is the oculomotor n. so it innervates eye muscles including levator palpabrae superioris
only exceptions are LR6SO4
What muscle does CN IV (trochlear n.) innervate?
superior oblique m.
What are the functions of CN V (trigeminal n.)?
test q
-sensory to face
-general senses of anterior 2/3 of tongue
-muscles of mastication
-anterior belly of digastric m. and mylohyoid m.
-tensor veli palatini
What muscle does CN VI (abducens n) innervate?
lateral rectus m.
What does CN VII (facial n.) innervate?
test q
-muscles of facial expression
-posterior belly of digastric m. and stylohyoid m.
-taste for anterior 2/3 of tongue
What are the functions of CN VIII?
CN VIII is the vestibulocochlear n. so
vestibular part is in charge of equilibrium
cochlear part is in charge of hearing
What are the functions and innervations of CN IX (glossopharyngeal n.)?
test q
-general senses and taste for posterior 1/3 of tongue
-carotid baroreceptors and chemoreceptors
-stylopharyngeal m.
What are the functions and innervations of CN X (vagus n.)?
test q
-aorta
-all palatine muscles except the tensor veli palatini
-palatoglossus m. (only tongue muscle innervated by CN X)
-all pharyngeal muscles except stylopharyngeal m.
-all laryngeal muscles (note: the cricothyroid m. is innervated by the superior laryngeal branch of vagus n. while all other laryngeal muscles are innervated by recurrent laryngeal n. branch)
What does CN XI (spinal accessory n.) innervate?
SCM and traps
What does CN XII (hypoglossal n.) innervate?
all tongue muscles except for tensor veli palatini
Which CNs have parasympathetic innervation?
test q
CN III, VII, IX, and X
What does the parasympathetic efferent of CN III (oculomotor n.) innervate?
test q
ciliary ganglion (near vision accommodation) for pupil constriction and to increase lens convexity
What is the greater petrosal n. parasympathetic pathway for CN VII (facial n.)?
test q
pterygopalatine ganglion (lacrimal gland, nasal, and oral secretions)
What is the chorda tympani n. parasympathetic pathway for CN VII (facial n.)?
test q
submandibular ganglion (sublingual and submandibular salivary gland secretions)
What does the parasympathetic efferent of CN IX (glossopharyngeal n.) innervate?
test q
otic ganglion (parotid salivary gland)
What does the parasympathetic efferent of CN X (vagus n.) innervate?
test q
plexi of the visceral neck, thorax, and abdomen
