Intro to Cranial Nerves Flashcards
general afferent fibers
sensory
have cell bodies in either dorsal root ganglia or nuclei/ganglia of specific cranial nerves
GSA
general somatic afferent
exteroreceptive impulses - pain temp touch
-from epithelium of ectodermal origin
proprioceptive impulses - tendons, joints
epithelium of ectodermal origin
all skin ling of external ear tympanic membrane conjuctiva covering palebral surface of eye lining of external nares nasal cavity paranasal sinuses lining of mouth anterior 2/3 of tongue dura mater
GVA
general visceral afferent
sensory impulses - pain
-from visceral structures of endoderm origin
visceral structures of endoderm origin
posterior third of tongue ducts of parotid gland carotid sinus pharynx pharyngotympanic tube and middle ear bronchial tree larynx esophagus gut pancreaticohepatic duct lining of genitourinary tract
tongue innervation
anterior 2/3 GSA
posterior 1/3 GVA
blood vessel innervation
mesoderm derivative
still supplied by visceral afferents
special afferent fibers
only in cranial nerves
SSA
special somatic afferent
vision, hearing, equilibrium
ear and eye
SVA
special visceral afferent
olfactory and gustation
named visceral - because of functional association with the GI tract
general efferent fibers
motor fibers to muscles of body
except branchiomeric muscles
branchiomeric muscles
develop from pharyngeal arches
not somites
innervation is SVE
muscles of mastication, facial expression, pharynx, palate, larynx
GSE
general somatic efferent
motor impulses to somatic skeletal muscle
GVE
general visceral efferent
autonomics to smooth muscle in gut tube, blood vessels, cardiac muscle, glandular secretion
subdivided - S and PS and found in spinal and some cranial nerves
special efferent fibers
cranial nerves
innervate specialized area of skeletal muscle
SVE
special visceral efferent
skeletal muscles derived from pharyngeal arch mesoderm
NO autonomics
SSE
special somatic efferent
reflexively influence sensory input to ear
CN I
olfactory nerve
SVA
olfactory nerve
CN I SVA
sense of smell
destination of CN I
to olfactory striae
lateral - piriform cortex in anterior temoral lobe
medial - through anterior commisure to contralateral olfactory structures
CN II
optic nerve
SSA
optic nerve
CN II SSA
afferent fibers of retina - sense of sight
destination of CN II
medial fibers decussate and join lateral fibers of opposite side
terminate at lateral geniculate bodies of thalamus
-hen to occipital lobe
CN III
oculomotor nerve
GSE, GVE-P
oculomotor nerve GSE component
motor to extra-ocular muscles of eye
- rotational movement
- 4 of 6 - superior, medial, inferior recti, inferior oblique AND superior eyelid
oculomotor nerve GVE-P component
parasympathetic to intra-ocular muscles
- change shape of lense for accomodation
- narrowing pupil
via inferior division of CN III (ciliary ganglion)
inferior division of CN III
oculomotor nerve GVE-P component
ciliary ganglion
CN IV
trochlear nerve
GSE
trochlear nerve
CN IV GSE
innervation of one of extraocular eye muscle
-superior oblique (utilizes pulley)
innervation of extraocular muscles of eye
CN III - superior, medial, inferior recti, inferior oblique
CN IV - superior oblique
CN VI - lateral rectus
