Lecture Outline #16: Cranial nerves & endocrine system Flashcards
5 types of cranial nerves
somatic afferent
somatic efferent
visceral afferent
visceral efferent
special sensory afferent
somatic afferent
skin, skeletal muscles, joints to the CNS
somatic efferent
CNS to skin, skeletal muscles, joints
visceral afferent
BVs, gut, lungs to the CNS
visceral efferent
CNS to BVs, gut, lungs
special sensory afferent
ears, eyes, nose, tongue
CNs I, II,VIII
CN I source
up superior & middle conchae through olfactory epithelium
CN V trigeminal neuralgia
neuropathic disorder, pressure on the nerve
CN VII Bells palsy
injury/infection within facial canal, regional paralysis, tears and smell stop working on that side
CN X dural sinus & type of nerve
sigmoid sinus leads to this nerve around jugular foramen, parasympathetic nerve
ANS Organ function
balance between sym & para-sym stimulation, only one can be elevated
ANS motor fiber
pre-ganglionic fiber - synapse onto autonomic ganglia throughout body
post-ganglionic fiber - synapse onto target organ
sym - fight/flight response
mental alertness, increased metabolic, respiratory, and heart rate, stops UG/GI functions and blood supply
sym - thoracolumbar division
pre-gang fibers exit from T1-L2 & have NAVLs with them
pre & post gang fibers are similar in length
sympathetic chain ganglia - para-vertebral ganglia
segmental autonomic ganglia
located along posterior body wall T1-L2
integrates spinal levels - C6-Co1
MOST pre-gang fibers pass thru chain ganglia
SOME pre-gang fibers synapse @ chain ganglia
SOME post-gang fibers synapse @ chain ganglia
SOME post-gang gibers synapse @ collateral ganglia
