H&N 1: Anatomy Intro Flashcards
How many units of movement is there of the cervical vertebrae and give its constituents?
- 2 units:
1. Skull, C1 & C2
2. C3-C7
What is the vert artery a branch of and where does it go through?
- R subclavian
- goes through foramen transversarium of cervical vert
What is the TMJ and its function?
- synovial joint between base of skull and mandible
- open mouth and chew
What is the function of the foramina in the skull?
- nerves + vessels come through
What is tentorium cerebelli?
- fold of dura mater
What is the cervical plexus formed by?
- ant. fibres of spinal cord
List the sensory and fibres of the cervical plexus
- sensory:
- lesser occipital
- great auricular
- transverse cervical
- supraclavicular
- phrenic nerve
List the motor fibres of the cervical plexus
- sup. + inf. root of ansa cervicalis
What cervical spinal nerves make up the phrenic nerve?
- C3-5
What supplies the brachial plexus and what does it supply?
- lower cervical spinal nerves
- supplies upper limb
List the no.s + names of cranial nerves
I - Olfactory II - Optic III - Oculomotor IV - Trochlear V - Trigeminal VI - Abducent VII - Facial VIII - Vestibulocochlear IX - Glossopharyngeal X - Vagus XI - Accessory XII - Hypoglossal
Give the functions of cranial nerves I-IV
- olfactory comes through cribiform plate to top of nose for smell
- optic comes through optic canal into eye for vision
- oculomotor - supplies some muscle that moves the eye
- trochlear supplies sup. oblique muscle that goes through pulley towards eye
Give the functions of cranial nerves V-VIII
- trigeminal has 3 parts sensory to:
1. orbit
2. maxillar
3. mandible - motor fibres supply masticatory muscles
- abducent supplies muscle that abducts eye (moves away from mid-line)
- facial comes through int. auditory meatus and gives motor supply to muscles of face, sensory fibres to tongue and para-secretomotor fibres for secretion of glands
- vestibulocochlear supply vestibule (for balance) and cochlear (for hearing)
Give the functions of cranial nerves IX-XII
- glossopharyngeal supply tongue and pharynx
- vagus gives para, sensory + motor fibres to larynx + sensory fibres for taste in back of pharynx
- accessory joins vagus
- hypoglossal supply muscles of tongue from underneath
What is special about the trochlear nerve?
- v. thin
- comes off opp side of brain to other nerves
