A

23
Q

Which muscles aid superior rectus in adduction and elevation

A

Inferior oblique and medial rectus

24
Q

What would you see in oculomotor nerve palsy?

A

The only muscle that still has tone is superior oblique and lateral rectus. Eye will be down and out. Also constant dilation due to unopposed sympathetic innervation

25
Q

What would you see in trochlea nerve palsy?

A

Paralyses the superior oblique. Right eye is up and in. Patients attempt to minimise this by tilting head so could complain of neck pain.

26
Q

What would you see in abducens palsy?

A

Loss of ability to abduct eye. Paralysis of lateral rectus.

27
Q

What is the name of CN V?

A

Trigeminal nerve

28
Q

What are the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve?

A

Ophthalmic, maxillary, mandibular

29
Q

What does CN V supply (generally)

A

Sensory nerve of the face. Supplies skin and deeper structure such as mucous membrane and anterior 2/3 of the tongue

30
Q

What does the ophthalmic nerve branch into?

A

Lacrimal, frontal and nasociliary

31
Q

What does lacrimal nerve supply?

A

Lacrimal glands

32
Q

What does the frontal nerve supply?

A

Forehead

33
Q

Is the maxillary sensory, motor or mixed?

A

Sensory

34
Q

What do the branches of maxillary nerve supply?

A

Superior alveolar branches go to superior dentition
Infraorbital opens up onto face via infraorbital foramen
Palatine goes to palate

35
Q

What is the mandibular nerve motor to?

A

Muscles of mastication

36
Q

What are the 2 main sensory branches of the mandibular nerve?

A

Inferior alveolar and lingual

37
Q

What does the inferior alveolar supply?

A

Sensory to lower dentition

38
Q

What does the lingual nerve supply?

A

Sensory to anterior 2/3 of the tongue

39
Q

What is the name of CN VII

A

Facial nerve

40
Q

What is the motor function of the facial nerve?

A

Superficial muscles of facial expression

41
Q

What is the chorda tympani?

A

Parasympathetic branch of facial nerve, travels with 3. Special sensory related to taste on anterior 2/3 of tongue

42
Q

What is the greater petrosal nerve?

A

Higher parasympathetic branch of facial nerve- passes through parotid but does not supply

43
Q

What is the name CN IX?

A

Glossopharyngeal

44
Q

Where does CN IX exit?

A

jugular foramen

45
Q

Function of glossopharyngeal nerve (3)

A

Parasympathetic to parotid gland
Special sensory to back of tongue
Sensory to the oropharynx

46
Q

What is the afferent and efferent to gag reflex

A 
Afferent= glossopharyngeal
Efferent= vagus
47
Q

How does the vagus nerve run down the neck?

A

In the carotid sheath

Between medial carotid arteries and interal jugular veins

48
Q

What is the name of CN XI?

A

Spinal accesory nerve

49
Q

Where does CN XI emerge?

A

Cranium not the brain

50
Q

Where do nerve rootlets of CN XI arise from?

A

C5-C6

51
Q

How do nerve rootlets travel up to brain?

A

Form a nerve and ascend cranial cavity via foramen magnum. Exit through jugular foramen

52
Q

What does CN XI supply?

A

Somatic motor fibres to accesory muscles of breathing (sternocleidomastoid and trapezius)

53
Q

What is the name of CN XII?

A

Hypoglossal

54
Q

How is the hypoglossal nerve formed?

A

Rootlets from the medulla. Leaves the hypoglossal canal. Joined by C1 and C2 which go into infrahyoid muscles.
