neuro lec 6 Flashcards
briefly describe the embryology of the nervous system (3)
- neural plate develops in ectoderm
- sides of neural plate come together to form neural groove
- neural folds fuse at midline to form neural tube, caudal end becomes spinal cord
what is the notochord?
- axis of embryo
- future site of vertebrae
what do neural crest cells give rise to?
peripheral nervous system
what type of condition would problems at the caudal end of the neural tube cause? what about at the cranial end?
- caudal: spina bifida
- cranial: anencephaly
what does the neural tube differentiate into? (3)
- Prosencephalon (forebrain)
- Mesencephalon (midbrain)
- Rhombencephalon (hindbrain)
where are the nuclei of the cranial nerves located?
in the CNS
which cranial nerves develop from the tel? die? mes? met? mye?
- tel: 1
- die: 2
- mes: 3, 4
- met: 5, 6, 7, 8
- mye: 9, 10, 11, 12
what is the order of the cranial nerves? what is their general function (sensory/motor/both)?
- olfaction (sensory)
- optic (sensory)
- oculomotor (motor)
- trochlear (motor)
- trigeminal (both)
- abducens (motor)
- facial (both)
- vestibulocochlear (sensory)
- glossopharyngeal (both)
- vagus (both)
- accessory (motor)
- hypoglossal (motor)
what is the trigeminal nerve derived from? what is it responsible for?
- pharyngeal arch 1
- chewing muscles
what is the facial nerve derived from? what is it responsible for?
- pharyngeal arch 2
- facial expression
what is the glossopharyngeal derived from? what is it responsible for?
- pharyngeal arch 3
- swallowing muscles
what is derived from pharyngeal arches 4 and 6?
- 4: superior laryngeal branch of vagus nerve (soft palate muscles)
- 6: recurrent laryngeal branch (laryngeal muscles)
which cranial nerves are somatic/efferent? what is their function?
- 3, 4, 6, 11, 12
- move skeletal muscles
which cranial nerves are somatic/afferent? what is their function?
- 5, 9
- conscious sensation
which cranial nerves are autonomic/efferent? what is their function?
- 3, 7, 9, 10
- unconscious control of smooth muscles/glands (parasympa)
which cranial nerves are autonomic/afferent? what is their function?
- 10
- unconscious senses of smooth muscles/glands
which cranial nerves are “special efferent”? what are they derived from? what is their function?
- 5, 7, 9, 10
- derived from brachial arches
- voluntary and reflexive control (“both”)
