Head and neck: cranial nerves II Flashcards
CN VII facial nerve: enters/ exits CNS
btw pons and medulla
CN VII facial nerve: enters/ exits skull
- internal acoustic meatus -> facial canal -> stylomastoid foramen
CN VII facial nerve: site of cell bodies
- SVE (BE): pons
- SA: geniculate ganglion
- GVE: presynaptic fibres (pons), postsynaptic (pterygopalatine and submandibular ganglia)
CN VII facial nerve: list 2 main roots
- intermediate nerve (sensory, nervus intermedius)
- motor root
CN VII facial nerve: intermediate nn fibres
- GSA: sensory from ext acoustic meatus
- SA: taste ant 2/3 tongue
- GVE: parasymp secretomotor (lacrimal gland, sublingual salivary, mucous membranes of nasal cavity glands, hard and soft palate)
CN VII facial nerve: what branch supplies taste ant 2/3 of tongue
- chorda tympani (petrotrympanic fissure)
CN VII facial nerve: motor root fibres
- SVE: mm facial expression and scalp, stapedius, post belly of digastric, stylohyoid mm
CN VII facial nerve: within facial canal gives what nn
- greater petrosal
- n to stapedius
- chorda tympani
CN VII facial nerve: after exiting stylomastoid foramen, it gives-
- temporofacial
- cervicofacial
- digastric branch
- post auricular
CN VII facial nerve: once entering parotid gland name branches
- temporofacial, cervicofacial both:
- temporal
- zygomatic
- buccal
- marginal mandibular
- cervical
CN VIII vestibulocochlear nerve: enters/ exits CNS
btw pons and medulla
CN VIII vestibulocochlear nerve: enters/ exits skull
- internal acoustic meatus
CN VIII vestibulocochlear nerve: site of cell bodies
- vestibular ganglion (vestibular n)
- spiral ganglion (cochlear n)
CN VIII vestibulocochlear nerve: function SSA
- vestibular n: equilibrium
- cochlear: hearing
eg. vestibular neuritis, labryinthitis, acoustic neuroma
- vestibular neuritis: inflammation of vestibular n -> compression of structures
- labyrinthitis: similar
- acoustic neuroma: tumour growth, also compression
CN IX glossopharyngeal nerve: enters/ exits CNS
medulla
