LEC54: Cranial Nerves II Flashcards
function of SVE, special visceral efferent, fibers?
fibers innervating muscles derived from a branchial arch
function of SVA, special visceral afferent, fibers?
fibers that deal w/ GUT-RELATED SENSE of head/neck:
1) taste
2) smell
function of SSA, special somatic afferent, fibers?
NON-GUT related to special SENSE fibers of head/neck:
1) vision
2) balance
3) hearing
what kinds of nerve fibers present in head/neck?
both special and general just b/c in head/neck, doesn’t mean it’s ONLY special fibers- also have general
which CN are special sensory nerves?
1) CNI: olfactory
2) CNII: optic
3) CNVII: vestibulocochlear
what is unique about CNI, CNII?
CNI, olfactory & CNII, optic ARE NOT REALLY NERVES;
nerve must come from a nucleus, go to effector organ, or have sensory ganglia somewhere;
these are actually BRAIN TRACTS
fiber type in CNI, olfactory n? fxn?
SVA ONLY
helps w/ flavor detection by bringing in air
fiber type of CNII, optic n? fxn?
SSA ONLY
nerve of vision
transmits info from retina > brain
function and significance of central artery of the retina?
an END ARTERY w/ NO collaterals
when lose this, lose vision
fiber type of CNVII, vestibulocochlear n? fxn?
SSA only
balance!
vestibular and auditory systems
which CN are myotomal?
1) CNIII, oculomotor
2) CNIV, trochlear
3) CNVI, abducens
4) CNXII, hypoglossal
derivation of myotomal CNs?
somites
what fiber type for all myotomal CN?
GSE
fiber types/fxn of CNIII, occulomotor?
GSE & GVE-autonomics
what do autonomics of CNIII do?
preganglionic parasympathetics, do pupillary constriction
location of CNVI, abducens? susceptibility therein?
lies on clivus bone
v susceptible to pontine tumors
which CN is big motor nerve of tongue?
CNXII, hypoglossal
which CN are branchioneric?
1) CNV: trigeminal
2) CNVII: facial
3) CNIX: glossopharyngeal
4) CNX: vagus
5) CNXI: spinal accessory n
* branchioneric = derived from branchial arches, so have to do w/ neural crest cells*
