Lecture 19: CNS and Head Neck Innervation Flashcards
5 types of innervation provided by cranial nerves
special sensory
general sensory
visceral motor (sympathetics, parasympathetic)
visceral sensory
general/voluntary motor
neurocranium definition and functions(2)
braincase (rigid)
protects brain and exit of cranial nerves
attachments of chewing and neck musculature
viscero/splanchocranium definition and functions/components (3)
facial skeleton
supports the face
sensory components
masticatory apparatus
forebrain: contains (4), 3 functions
right and left cerebral hemispheres, thalamus, hypothalamus
sensor processing, motor commands, decision making
brainstem components and functions
midbrain, pons, cerebellum, medulla
cranial nerve nuclei
nuclei responsible for basic functions like breathing
4 divisions of brainstem
midbrain
pons
cerebellum
medulla
how is cerebellum functionally associated with pons
cerebellar peduncles = bundles of axons going to and from cerebellum
cranial nerves pneumonic
Oh - olfactory (1)
Oh - optic (2)
Oh - oculomotor (3)
To - trochlear (4)
Touch - trigeminal (5)
And - abducens (6)
Feel - facial (7)
Very - vestibulocochlear (8)
Good - glossopharyngeal (9)
Velvet - vagus (10)
A - accessory (11)
H - hypoglossal (12)
2 cranial nerves in forebrain (and general functions)
CNI/olfactory = smell
CNII/optic = vision
2 cranial nerves in midbrain and function
CN III/oculomotor
CN IV/trochlear
eye movements
2 cranial nerves in pons and 3 functions
CN V/trigeminal
CN VI/abducens
eye movements, sensory to face, motor for chewing
6 cranial nerves in medulla
CN VII - CN XII
cranial nerve ganglia for parasympathetics: head and neck (hint: 3,9,7,7 COPS)
CN III = ciliary
CN IV = pterygopalatine and submandibular
CN IX = optic
examples of special senses (7)
olfaction, vision, taste, balance, hearing, blood pressure, blood oxygen and co2 levels
3 cranial nerves that control extraocular muscles
3,4,6
oculomotor, trochlear, abducens
autonomic functions in head and neck examples
control of muscles within eye to focus and control pupil size
glands that secrete tears, mucus, saliva
olfactory nerve passes through
cribriform plate
