Module 6: Nerves And Muscles Flashcards
Cranial nerves
Pass through bony structures whereas other nerves run along bones/muscles
Can help in injury assessment, ID and siding of cranial bones
CN I
Olfactory-smell
Cribriform plate
CN II
Optic-sight
Optic foramen/canal
CN III
Oculomotor-eye movement
Supraorbital fissure
CN IV
Trochlear-eye movement
Supraorbital fissure
CN V
Trigeminal-sensation, taste, movement
1. Ophthalmic
2. Maxillary
3. Mandibular
Canal splits:
1. Supraorbital fissure
2. Foramen rotundum
3. Foramen ovale
CN VI
Abducens-eye movement
Supraorbital fissure
CN VII
Facial-taste, salivation, sensation, movement
Internal auditory meatus (entrance)/stylomastoid foramen (exit)
CN VIII
Vestibulocochlear-hearing
Internal auditory meatus
CN IX
Glossopharyngeal-taste, swallowing, salivation
Jugular foramen and tympano-occipital fissure
CN X
Vagus-heart, respiratory, gastric functions
Jugular foramen and tympano-occipital fissure
CN XI
Accessory-muscle movement and visceral reflex
Jugular foramen and tympano-occipital fissure
CN XII
Hypoglossal-tongue motion
Hypoglossal canal
Meningeal vessels
Pass through foramen ovale and spinosum, and jugular foramen transmits arteries and veins
Foramen that help with ID and siding of cranial elements
- Cribriform plate
- Optic canal
- Supraorbital fissure
- Foramen rotundum/round foramen
- Foramen ovale/oval foramen
- Trigeminal canal
- Internal auditory (acoustic) meatus
- Jugular foramen
- Condyloid canal
- Hypoglossal canal
- Rostrum alar foramen
- Caudal alar foramen
- Foramen lacerum
- Retroarticular foramen
- Tympano-occipital fissure
- Foramen spinosum/spinous foramen
- External auditory meatus
- Fossa for lacrimal sac
- Maxillary foramen
- Alveolar foramina
- Sphenopalatine foramen
- Caudal palatine foramen
Which nerves control eye movement and pass through superior orbital fissure?
Oculomotor, abducens
Which nerve does not contribute to taste/tongue movement?
Vagus
Muscles
-forelimb and hind limb focus
-understanding of what muscle attaches to what structure will help ID and side.
-focus on bony attachments
Origin
Less mobile attachment point/anchor of a muscle
Insertion
Site of attachment of muscle, typically has more movement than origin location during action
