Lecture 6 - Cranial Nerves Flashcards
Where does the neural plate develop?
In the ectoderm
Lateral margins of the neural plate grow upward to form what?
The neural folds/neural groove
The neural folds meet at the midline, fuse, and form what?
The neural tube
What is a notochord?
Defines the axis of the embryo, basis for the axial skeleton and future site of the vertebrae
Neural crest cells give rise to what?
The peripheral nervous system
From where does the spinal cord develop?
The caudal end of the neural tube
The neural tube differentiates into what 3 encephalons?
Prosencephalon (forebrain)
Mesencephalon (midbrain)
Rhombencephalon (hindbrain)
Based on the embryology of the cranial nerves, where do the nerves fall in the different ‘encephalons’ of the brain?
Tel - i
Die - ii
Mes - iii, iv
Met – v, vi, vii, viii
Mye – ix, x, xi, xii
Pharyngeal arch 1 gives rise to which cranial nerve? This serves what function?
CN V - trigeminal
Muscles of mastication
Pharyngeal arch 2 gives rise to which cranial nerve? This serves what function?
CN VII - facial
Facial expression
CN IX (glossopharyngeal) is derived from which pharyngeal arch?
3
Pharyngeal arch 4 gives rise to what cranial nerve branch? What is its function?
Superior laryngeal branch of vagus nerve
- Muscles of soft palate & pharynx
Pharyngeal arch 5 gives rise to which cranial nerve branch? What is its function?
Recurrent laryngeal branch of vagus nerve
- Intrinsic laryngeal muscles & skeleton muscles of esophagus
