50
Q

olfactory nerve

A

consists of numerous bundles of unmyelinated axons from bipolar neurons in the nasal mucosa

51
Q

olfactory nerve

A

CN I

axons from the mitral cells pass to the telencephalon as the olfactory tract; the olfactory nerve is classified as SVA. (special sense, visceral [smell and taste are associated with the visceral of GI tract], afferent [sensory])

52
Q

optic nerve

A

CN II
the optic nerves are formed by the axons of ganglion cells in the retina

SSA fibers (special sense, somatic, afferent)

53
Q

location of optic chiasm and tracts

A

diencephalon

54
Q

oculomotor, trochlear, abducens nerves

A

motor neves to extraocular muscles

III, IV, VI

55
Q

CN III, IV, and VI

A

motor nerves to muscles of the orbit that are derived from head somites (GSE); they supply the extraocular muscles that move the eye

56
Q

CN III (oculomoter) and cranial nerve IV (trochlear)

A

arise from the midbrain (mesencephalon)

57
Q

the oculomotoer nervve CN III

A

innervates most of the extraocular muscles (GSE); provides parasympathetic preganglionic fibers (GVE) to the ciliary ganglion whose postganglionic fibers help control pupillary diameter

58
Q

trochlear nerve (CN IV)

A

supplies one eye muscle, the superior oblique; it is the only cranial nerve to original from the dorsal or superior surface of the midbrain

59
Q

abducens (or abducent nerve) (CN VI)

A

supplies one eye muscle, the lateral rectus; it is actually a nerve of the myelencephalon and arise from the brain at the pons-medulla junction; it travels into the orbit with the cranial nerves III, IV, and V1

60
Q

trochlear nerve

A

left outside of the tendinous ring; its muscle (superior onliue) also doesn’t attach to the ring

61
Q

trigeminal nerve (V)

A

attached to the middle pons at the level of the cerebellar peduncle; it has motor and sensory roots; most cell bodies contributing to the sensory root are located in the trigeminal ganglion which lies in a pocket of dura mater just lateral to the cavernous sinus; sensory neurons of the trigeminal nerve (V3) innervate structures anterior to the vertex-ear-chin line (GSA). the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (V3) also contains motor neurons; these inntervate the muscles of mastication that develop from the first branchial arch (SVE)

62
Q

exits of trigeminal nerve branches

A

sup. orbital fissure (CN III, IV, V1, VI)

foramen rotundum (CN V2)

foramen ovale (CN V3)

63
Q

where do cranial nerves VI, VII, and VIII arise from

A

from the brain at the pons-medulla junction

64
Q

the pyramids

A

a pair of ridges, lie on either side of the anterior median fissure of the medulla; just lateral are bumps called the olives

65
Q

hypoglossal nerve (XII)

A

emerges from the groove between the pyramid and olive

66
Q

glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory nerves (IX, X, and XI)

A

emerge posterior to the olives in the postolivary fissure

67
Q

facial nerve motor components

A

the facial nerve innervates muscles of facial epression plus stapedius, stylohyoid, and psoterior digastrist; these are striated muscles derived from the 2nd branchial arch, so teh nerve modality is SVE

68
Q

facial nerve sensory component

A

sense of taste from anterior 2/3 of tongue, so SVA; cell bodies for taste fibers are in the geniculate ganglion

69
Q

facial nerve parasympathetic components

A

parasympathetic preganglionic fibers (GVE) are in the greater petrosal nerve and the chorda tympani

70
Q

vestibulocochlear nerve VIII

A

vestibulo (vestibule - balance); cochlear (cochlea - hearing); Special Somatic Afferent (SSA)

71
Q

vestibulocochlear nerve

A

special (special sense) somatic (hearing and balance) afferent (sensory), therefore SSA; inputs to dorsal and ventral cochlear nuclei (hearing); inputs to vestibular nuclei (balance, control of extraocular muscles)

72
Q

glossopharyngeal n (CN IX)

A

general sense from middle ear (GSA), general sense from pharynx and psoterior tongue (GVA), taste from posterior tongue (SVA), motor to stylopharyngeus (SVE), parasympathetic supply to parotid gland (GVE)

73
Q

vagus nerve (CN X)

A

GVA from GI tract, lungs, heart
GVE parasympathetic preganglionic to GI tract
SVE to 4th arch: pharynx, larynx muscles

74
Q

accessory nerve (CN XI)

A

SVE or GSE to striated muscle, depending on text

75
Q

hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)

A

the hypoglossal nerve innervates all muscles whose name ends in “glossus,” except palatoglossus; GSE to striated muscles from somites

76
Q

GVE

A

parasympathetic preganglionic fibers in cranial nerves III, VII, and IX go to ganglia in the head, controlling lens and pupil of eye, and secretion from mucus and salivary glands

77
Q

cranial nerves

A

locations of nuclear columns derived from primitive neural tube

78
Q

somatic and visceral sensory

A

are dorsal (posterior)

79
Q

somatic and visceral motor

A

are anterior

80
Q

A

sometimes contribute to more than one cranial nerve; are in order anterior to posterior

81
