Lecture 8- CN VII - XII Flashcards
what detects internal chemical stimuli
internal organ chemoreceptors
what is the function of internal organ chemoreceptors
tracking concentrations of oxygen, glucose, neuroactive hormones and other substances
what detects external chemical stimuli
gustatory/taste receptors
olfactory receptor neurons
chemosensitive endings
where is gustatory/taste receptors
oral cavity
where is olfactory neurons
nasal cavity
what does chemosensitive endings detect
heat of chili/coolness of methanol
sting of ammonia (nose/eye)
CN V through somatosensory
what is papillae
gustatory organs of the tongue
where is circumvallate papillae
posterior 1/3 tongue
oropharynx
what innervates circumvallate papillae and the function
CN IX for chemical and common Ss stimuli
where is foliate papillae
middle to posterior lateral tongue
what innervates foliate papillae and the function
CN V/VII/IX for chemical stimuli
CN V/IX for Ss
where is fungiform papillae
anterior 2/3 tongue
oral cavity
what innervates fungiform papillae and the function
CN V/VII for chemical stimuli
CN V for Ss
how long does taste receptors last
1-2 weeks
basal cells differentiate into new taste receptors
what does taste receptors synapse with
with dendrites of CN VII/ IX/X through gap junctions
where is taste first order neuron
ganglia of CN VII/IX/X
where is taste second order neuron
solitary nuclei
what CN is gengiculate ganglia that makes up the first order neuron of taste
CN VII
what CN is inferior ganglia that makes up the first order neuron of taste
CN IX and X
what is tastants
chemical molecules transduce taste receptor cells
what ion channel makes up salty taste
leaking ion channel for sodium/potassium ions
what ion channel makes up sour taste
ionotropic channel with H+ depolarize
what ion channel makes up sweet/umami/bitter taste
GPCR
what is the 6th taste
ammonium chloride
like salty or sour ion channel
avoid toxic food
where is the third order neuron for taste
VPM of thalamus
where does the third order neuron project to
insular lobe
what pathway is CN V chemical sensation use
somatosensory pathway
where does CN VII exit through the cranium
internal acoustic meatus
what nuclei does CN VII use for Ss
spinal trigeminal nucleus
what nuclei does CN VII use for Sm
facial motor nuclei
what nuclei does CN VII use for Vs
solitary nucleus
what nuclei does CN VII use for Vm
superior salivatory nucleus
what are the terminal branches of Sm of CN VII
temporal
zygomatic
buccal
mandibular
cervical
posterior auricular
what is used for superficial facial expression
facial and scalp m
what m does parotid gland pierce
buccinator
where does the dorsal nucleus receive projections for CN VII
projections from bilateral anterior cingulate cortex
forehead and scalp
where does the ventral nucleus receive projections for CN VII
projections from contralateral cerebral cortex except ACC
lower face
what S&S do you expect from a UMN injury affecting the face
UMN= neocortex
can still wrinkle forehead
can smile with humor but not on command
what S&S do you expect from a LMN injury affecting the face
LMN= CN VII
no facial expression, flaccid
what is the function of the external ear
collect and conduct sound wave through air
what is the function of the middle ear
sound wave to vibration
what is the function for internal ear
vestibular system
what composes the middle ear
tympanic cavity
ossicles
muscles
