Q

Why are cranial nerve 1 and 2 susceptible to MS disease

A

They are innervated by oligodendricytes instead of schwann cells due to location (they don’t leave the CNS)

A

L sided homonymous hemianopsia (Blind in the left visual field of both eyes)

24
Q

Damage to an optic nerve between the optic chasm and the eyeball will cause…

A

25
Q

What nerve innervates the “superior oblique muscle” of the eye

A

Trochlear nerve

26
Q

The orbicularis oculi does what action, and what is its innervation?

A

Closes eyes

-Facial nerve

27
Q

The consensual blink response is activated by _______ ganglion and sent to the _______ spinal nucleus and passed through interneurons in the reticular formation to both ________ nerves in order to close both eyes

A

Trigeminal

Trigeminal

Both Facial Nerves

28
Q

The superior colliculus is for _____ whereas the inferior colliculus is for _____

A

Vision

Hearing

29
Q

What is the fluid called inside of the vestibular apparatus?

A

Endolymph

30
Q

What is the fluid called that separates the bony structures from the membranous labyrinth of the vestibular system?

A

Perilymph

31
Q

Movement of the endolymph inside of the semicircular canals detects…

A

Rotational acceleration/deceleration

32
Q

What causes the depolarization of the cochlear nerve endings

A

Vibration of endolymph is detected by hair cells which depolarize and send signal to cochlear nerve endings to activate them

Q

What cranial nerve controls peristalsis inside the esophagus

A

vagus nerve

34
Q

What nerve handles the lips closing when you put food in your mouth?

A

Facial nerve

35
Q

What nerve decreases HR, Constricts Bronchi, and increases digestion?

A

Vagus nerve

39
Q

What nerve controls the efferent part of the gag reflex?

A

Vagus

A

Transmission of vibrations prevented in the outer or middle ear

41
Q

What is Sensorineural deafness?

A
