L21: Parasympathetic Nerves (3,5,7,9,10) Flashcards
list the 4 main parasympathetic CNs
- oculomotor n
- facial n
- glossopharyngeal n
- vagus n
CN III
oculomotor n
carries 2 modalities - GSM and GVM
carries parasym fibers that control the shape of the lens and pupil
CN III - GSM
oculomotor n
cell bodies in oculomotor nuclear complex thru sup orbital fissure to extrinsic eye muscles levator palpebrae sup
CN III - GVM
pregang
- -Edinger Westphal nucleus
- -thru sup orbital fissure
- -to ciliary ganglion
postgang
–to constrictor pupillae and ciliary muscles
CN V
trigeminal n
named for its 3 branches that are considered their own nerves
major sensory n to face GSS
motor innervation to mastication SVM
largest of the 12 CNs
CN V1
ophthalmic branch
general sensory to orbit
sensations to nose, skin above eye, upper eyelid
branches:
frontal, lacrimal, nasociliary
CN V2
maxillary branch
sensation to maxillary region branches: infraorbital ant sup alveolar zygomatic palatine nasal post sup alveolar
CN V3
mandibular branch
sensation to mandible branches: motor branches to 4 muscles of mastication auriculotemporal inf alveolar lingual buccal
auriculotemporal branch
of CN V3
sensory to scalp behind jaws
CN V - GSS modality
cell bodies of sensory neurons are located in trigeminal or semilunar ganglion
CN V - SVM modality
cell bodies of these motor neurons are located in masticator nucleus
CN VII
facial n
SVM
GSS and SVS
GVM
motor branches:
temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular, cervical
CN VII - SVM
muscles of facial expression from 2nd pharyngeal arch
cell bodies of these neurons in motor nucleus
exit via stylomastoid foramen
CN VII - GSS
facial n
cell bodies of these sensory neurons in geniculate ganglion
supply part of external ear
CN VII - SVS
cell bodies of these sensory neurons are located:
- -primary neurons in geniculate ganglion
- -2ndary neurons in solitary nucleus
- -tertiary ones end in thalamus
carry taste sensation from ant 2/3s of tongue, hard and soft palates
