Q

Describe the location of the somitomeres (baby somites) in relation to the placodes.

A

There are 3 somitomeres above the otic placode. Called preotic somites. There are 3 somitomeres that are below the otic placode (postotic somites).

Q

As the telencephalon develops you get something that induces the formation & thickening of the olfactory placode. What’s the deal with all of this?

A

the telencephalon develops & forms the olfactory bulb. This induces the olfactory placode to thicken

Q

The cells of smell (primary neurosensory cells) of the olfactory placode meet up with the olfactory tract in the olfactory bulb. What must they penetrate to do this?

A

they have to get thru little holes in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone to get to the olfactory bulb.

Q

Describe briefly how the lens placode forms.

A

an out pocketing of the forebrain (the diencephalon part) induces the surface ectoderm to thicken & form the lens placode.

Q

How is the lens placode different from the otic & olfactory placodes?

A

it has nothing to do with neurons or receptors.

All that it is is something that thickens, invaginates, & breaks off to form the lens.

Q

What should moms know about the ear’s development?

A

it is very slow to develop & therefore very susceptible to environmental defects
furthermore, it is difficult to tell when there are defects in an ear–have to specific tests w/ a baby.

Q

What’s the deal with cutaneous innervation & the 1st pharyngeal arch?

A

so…the 1st pharyngeal arch forms the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. It overgrows the 2nd pharyngeal arch. This area of the tongue for some reason is more associated w/ ectoderm. Therefore, the cutaneous anterior 2/3 of the tongue (1st arch) is innervated by the 5th cranial nerve.

Q

What are the 3 divisions of the Trigeminal Nerve?

V1: Opthalmic Division
V2: Maxillary Division
V3: Mandibular Division

114

the dorsal ramus of C2.

115

Ventral rami off of the cervical plexus innervate the neck & part of external ear.
This includes:

Lesser occipital nerve
Great auricular nerve
Transverse cervical nerve
Supraclavicular nerves

116
Q

Infraorbital nerve which comes out of the infraorbital foramen

118

mental nerve which exits the mental foramen

119
Q

The opthalmic, maxillary, & mandibular divisions of the trigeminal nerve all insert into which column?

A

GSA. General Sensory Afferent. They all have sensory components. The mandibular also has a motor components for the muscles of mastication. WhBut for the opthalmic, for example, it only has GSA & therefore only has sensory.

120
Q

T/F Sympathetics & parasympathetics don’t actually go into the brainstem. They just hop on & off nerves for a ride to their targets.

trigeminal ganglion

resides in the cavernous sinus

V2
V3

the pons

124

A

the cerebral aqueduct

125
Q

T/F At the 4th ventricle the columns get compressed & stack on top of one another.

A

False. At the 4th ventricle, the columns kind of flare out. This is b/c of the shape of the ventricle.

126
Q

The midbrain is superior.

The medulla is inferior.

127

9, 10, 12

130

A

Most medial: somatomotor column

Most lateral: special somatosensory column

131
Q

What’s the deal w/ Weigert stains?

A

myelinate axons (white matter) appears black. The lighter areas are the nuclei or the grey matter.

132
Q

A

2 pyramids

133
Q

If you see GSE column in the medulla…which nerve will come off of there?

A

hypoglossal nerve (Cranial Nerve 12).

134
Q

What is special about the branchiomotor nuclei that are found in the medulla?

A

they are dragged out laterally.

They are still ventral to the sulcus limitans.

135
Q

What do the pyramids of the medulla do? What are they composed of?

A

They carry info from the motor cortex to the lower motor neurons.
They are composed of upper motor neurons.

136
Q

What’s the deal w/ lower motor neurons?

A

they are stupid
they are found pretty much everywhere–in the brainstem & spinal cord.
these are neurons whose axons go directly to muscle

137
Q

So…lower motor neurons are stupid & can’t make decisions on their own. Therefore, they can only respond via 2 routes. What are they?

A

Route 1: incoming afferent info

Route 2: descending signals from above

138
Q

Where do you find upper motor neurons?

A

mainly in the cortex

also a few in the brainstem that are involved w/ postural reflexes/muscles.

139
Q

What helps you to recognize the pons?

A

the pyramids are sunken into a mass of cells called the pontine grey. Also, the axons of these cells extend out to form the middle cerebellar peduncle.
can also see the 4th ventricle at the top.

140
Q

How can you recognize the midbrain?

A

you no longer see the 4th ventricle
now you see the cerebral aqueduct
2 mickey mouse ears called the cerebral peduncle

141
Q

What makes up the cerebral peduncle of the midbrain?

A

this is a big collection of descending fibers

specifically the: corticospinal, corticobulbar and corticopontine fibers

142
Q

T/F There is a large cell column of sensory stuff for the trigeminal nerve that we will learn about one day. For now, we need to know that sensory info comes back to the chief sensory nuclei in the pons.

A

True.

143
Q

A

The 2nd pharyngeal arch. Facial Nerve, Cranial Nerve 7.
