Lecture 19- CNS and Head-Neck Innervation Flashcards
how many pairs of cranial nerves are there
12
how do spinal nerves compare to cranial nerves in terms of information they carry
spinal nerves carry sensory and motor axons to the body and part of the neck
cranial nerves carry a more varied combination of axons
each ____ is innervated by a pair of spinal nerves
dermatome
what genes determine body segmentation and innervation
hox genes
what are the diverse functions of cranial nerves
special senses, eye movements, sensory from the face, motor to the face, movements of the jaw for chewing, control of swallowing, tears, mucus, and saliva
what types of innervation do the cranial nerves provide
special sensory (ex: vision)
general sensory (ex: touch)
general/voluntary motor
visceral motor- PNS and SNS
visceral sensory
neurocranium
braincase, protects the brain as well as the exits for the cranil nerves, site of attachment of chewing, neck musculature
viscero/splanchnocranium
facial skeleton, supports the face, sensory components, masticatory apparatus

where do the cranial nerves come from
some from the cortex/cerebrum and some from brainstem
what structures are located in the forebrain
right and left cerebral hemispheres, thalamus, and hypothalamus
what functions does the forebrain control
sensory processing, motor commands, decision making
what structures are located in the brainstem
midbrain, pons, cerebellum, medulla
contains cranial nerve nuclei
what portion of the brain contains many nuclei responsible for basic functions like breathing
brainstem
what are the four divisions of the brainstem
midbrain, pons, cerebellum, and medulla
the cerebellum is functionally associated with ____ via ____
pons via cerebellar peduncles
what division of the brainstem transitions into the beginning of the cervical spinal cord

mastication and protection of hearing receptors
what sensory innervation is provided by CN V
facial and oral cavity, muscle spindles
what sensory functions are provided by CN V
somatosensory and proprioception
