Neurology (02/04) Cranial Nerves IX, X, XI, & XII Flashcards
A patient reports a loss of pain sensation on the left side of the face after a stroke. what is the most likely location for this lesion?
left spinal trigeminal tract/nucleus
some patient with loss of pain sensation on the left side of the face. what brainstem level is most likely involved?
left lateral, dorsal medulla
spinal trigeminal tract is lateral in the brainstem
what is the axon type for CN XII?
somatic motor
what is the origin for XII?
hypoglossal nucleus
what is the peripheral termination for XII?
tongue mm
what is the main m of the tongue that XII innervates?
genioglossus (in charge of tongue protrusion)
where does XII exit the brainstem?
adjacent to pyramid
what three things result from hypoglossal nerve (LMN) lesion?
- deviation TOWARD lesion
- fasciculations [LMN]
- atrophy [LMN]
CN XII also has corticobulbar fibers from the motor cortex associated with it. where do these fibers decussate?
adjacent to hypoglossal nucleus
what three things result form corticobulbar (UMN of XII) lesion?
- deviation towards OPPOSITE side (bc it decussates)
- no fasciculations [UMN]
- minimal atrophy [UMN]
what type of axon type is CN XI?
branchial motor
where is the CNS origin for CN XI?
accessory nucleus in cervical spinal cord
where is the peripheral termination of CN XI?
sternocleidomastoid m and trapezius
where is the accessory nucleus located?
cervical spinal cord
what three things occur due to accessory nerve lesion on the trapezius m?
- scapula and clavicle hang due to weak trapezius
- weak shoulder shrug as levator scapulae must work alone
- muscle atrophy leads to scalloped appearance of neck contour
what is the CNS origin of the somatic sensory division of CN IX?
spinal trigeminal nucleus/
superior ganglion of IX
what is the peripheral termination of the somatic sensory division of CN IX?
skin of outer ear
what is the CNS origin of the visceral sensory division of CN IX?
nucleus of solitary tract/
inferior ganglion of IX
what is the peripheral termination of the visceral sensory division of CN IX?
-taste buds and mucosa on posterior 1/3 of the tongue and corotid body & sinus, and pharynx and middle ear
what is the CNS origin of the visceral motor division of CN IX?
inferior salivatory nucleus/
otic ganglion
what is the peripheral termination of the visceral motor division of CN IX?
parotid gland
