lecture 19: CN XI and XII Flashcards
which of the following nuclei is not shared by Cn IX and X
inferior salivatory nucleus
sensory trigeminal nucleis
nucleus ambiguous
nucleus solitaries
inferior salivatory nucleus
a patient presents with a uvular deviation to the left when saying ahh and an absent gag reflex unilaterally, which of these structures is damaged
left vagus n
right vagus n
left glosso n
right glosso n
right vagus n
what is CN XI
accessory n
is the accessory n motor, sensory or mixed
motor
what is the main function of the accessory n
voluntary motor innervation of sternocleidomastoid and trapezius
what does the sternocleidomastoid muscles do
contralateral rotation and ipsilateral flexion of the neck
true or false: the SCM does ipsilateral rotation and ipsilateral flexion of the neck
false, contralateral rotation
what does the trapezius muscle m do
scapular movement, upper limb support and posterior stability
how does the accessory n enter the skull
via foramen magnum
why does the accessory n need to enter the skull thru foramen magnum
because it starts in cervical region of the spine
how does the accessory n exit the skul
via jugular foramen
the accessory n exits skull via via jugular foramen with what other two nerves
glosso and vagus
where is the accessory nuclei located
in the lateral portion of the anterior grey horn (spinal root from c1-c5/6
true or false: the accessory nuclei is located in the lateral portion of anterior grey horn
true
spinal root for accessory nuclei is what cervical levels
c1-c5./c6
true or false, accessory nuclei get corticonuclear input
true
is the accessory nuclei somatic or branchial motor
branchial motor
is there a cranial component to the accessory nuclei
yes it is associated with nucleus ambigguus
(cranial root believed to join the vagus nerve en route to muscles of palate, larynx and pharynx
explain the UMN control of the XI n
1) UMN in primary motor cortex (neck area)
2) corona radiata
3) internal capsule (gene)
4) cerebral peduncle
5) basal pons
6) pyramids (decussation)
=ipsialteral for SCM
=contralateral for trap
7) synapse with LMN in accessory motor nucleis
explain what happens at the pyramids for cortciconuclear control of the CN XI
UMN stays ipsialtearl for the SCM
UMN goes contralateral for trapezius
where do UMN synapse with LMN for the CN XI
in accessory nuclei
is hypoglossal n purely motor, sensory or mixed
motor
what is the general function of the hypoglossal n
voluntary motor innervation of intrinsic tongue muscles (change the shape of the tongue)
voluntary motor innervation of all extrinsic tongue muscles (except palatoglossus CN X)
=movement of the tongue
what do the intrinsic muscles of the tongue do to the tongue
change the shape of the tongue
