Innervation of Head and Neck - Cranial Nerves I-V Flashcards
Name the 3 lobes of the brain
Frontal lobe
Parietal lobe
Occipital lobe
What are the functions of the cerebellum
– Compares intended movement with what is actually happening
– Smooth, coordinated movements
– Posture/balance
Name the different sections of the brain stem
Medulla oblongata
Pons
Midbrain
What are the functions of the medulla
• Relays motor and sensory
information
• Regulates heartbeat, breathing and blood vessel dilation
What are the functions of the pons
• Control breathing
Name all of the cranial nerves
• I: Olfactory • II: Optic • III: Oculomotor • IV: Trochlear • V: Trigeminal • VI: Abducens • VII: Facial • VIII:Vestibulocochlear – Acoustic • IX: Glossopharyngeal • X: Vagus • XI: Accessory • XII: Hypoglossal
What is the olfactory nerve responsible for
The sense of smell
What can cause anosmia (loss of sense of smell)
- Basal Skull Fracture
- Chronic Nasal Inflamation
- Tumor
Describe the path of the optic nerve, start with origination
Originates in the diencephalon, passes through the skull at the optic foramen in the sphenoid bone, terminates in the retina
Describe the route of the medial and lateral fibres in the optic chiasma
Medial fibres of each retina cost the midline and enter the optic tract on the opposite side
Lateral fibres of each retina pass posteriorly in the optic tract of the same side
Describe the route of the occulomotor nerve
Anterior part of the mid brain,
cavernous sinus
superior orbital fissure
What are the clinical tests for oculomotor injury
differences in pupil size, pupillary response to light,
eye tracking
What can be the effects of damage to the occulomotor nerve
dropping eyelid
dilated pupil
double vision
Describe the route of the trochlear nerve
Post. mid brain
cavernous sinus
superior orbital fissure
What is the function of the trochlear nerve
eye movements
