37
Q

What is J?

A

38
Q

What is K?

A

Posterior inferior cerebellar artery

39
Q

What cranial nerve emerges just above the superior cerebellar artery?

A

Occulomotor

40
Q

What are the different aspects of nerve supply to the arteries in the brain?

A

Carotid sinus - dilation located in terminal part of CCA, is pressure sensitive receptor which monitors blood to the head, sensory nerves from carotid sinus run in the glossopharyngeal nerve and vagus nerve

Carotid body - area in posterior wall of terminal part of CCA, contains chemoreceptors which are sensitive to low oxygen levels, sensory nerves from these receptors run in the glossopharygeal nerve

Sympathetic motor nerves - from superior cervical ganglion form plexus around ICA, enters skull through carotid canal and continues along main branches of ICA

41
Q

Where is the carotid sinus?

A

Terminal part of CCA (or proximal part of ICA)

42
Q

What does the carotid sinus respond to?

A

It is a pressure receptor that monitors blood flow to the head and brain

43
Q

Sensory nerves from the carotid sinus run with what nerves?

A

Glossopharyngeal

Vagus

44
Q

The carotid body is located where?

A

Posterior wall of the terminal part of the common carotid artery in the neck

45
Q

The carotid body responds to what?

A

Contains chemoreceptors which are sensitive to low oxygen levels, causing:

increased heart rate, increased respiration rate, increased blood pressure

46
Q

Sensory nerves from the carotid body run in what nerve?

A

Glossopharyngeal nerve

47
Q

The plexus formed from sympathetic motor nerves from the superior cervical ganglion enter the skull through what?

A

Carotid canal
