What 3 cranial nerves are sensory only?
Olfactory (O), Optic (II), and Vestibulocochlear (VIII)
Which cranial nerves are motor only?
Occulomotor (III), Trochlear (IV), Abducans (VI), Accessory (XI), and Hypoglossal (XII)
Which cranial nerves are a mix of sensory and motor fibers?
Tigeminal (V), Facial (VII), Glossopharyngeal (IX), and Vagus (X)
The tip of the hyoid bone is located at which cervical level?
C3
Faciliatates movement of respiratory and alimentary tracts and limits and directs spread of infection pus
Deep cervical fascia
Envagination of the prevertebral fascia
Axillary Sheath
Located between the buccopharyngeal and prevertebral fascia
Retropharyngeal space
Connects infratemporal fossa and pterygopalatine fossa
Pterygomaxillary fissure
The olfactory nerve (I) Travels in the
Cribiform plate
The optic nerve (II) Travels in the
Optic canal
Travel through the superior orbital fissure
Cranial nerves III, IV, V1, and VI
Travels through the foramen Rotundum
Maxillary Division of Trigeminal Nerve (V2)
Travels through the foramen ovale
Mandibular division of trigeminal nerve (V3)
Travels through the internal auditory meatus
Facial (VII) and Vestibulocochlear (VIII) nerves
Travel through the jugular foramen
Glosopharyngeal (IX), Vagus (X), and Spinal accessory (XI) Nerves
Travels through the Hypoglossal Canal
Hypoglossal Nerve (XII)
The middle cranial fossa communicates with the
Orbit, Pterygopalatine fossa, and infratemporal fossa
What are two connections between the middle cranial fossa and the orbit?
Optic canal and superior orbital fissure
Comes in below the tongue and innervates intrinsic tongue muscles
Hypoglossal nerve
Has motor innervation to muscles of mastication and is the primary sensory nerve of the face
CN V
What are the only three cranial nerves that pass through more than one bony opening?
CNs V, VII, and IX
9 of the 12 cranial nerves go through a
Single opening
What are the ONLY cranial nerves that carry preganglionic fibers?
CNs III, VII, IX, and X
The platysma is innervated by the
Facial laryngeal nerve (VII)
Used when we sniff because they pull up on the ribs
Scalene muscles
Space between the anterior and middle scalene that the proximal portion of the brachial plexus and subclavian artery pass through
Scalene interval
Facilitates movement between the pretracheal and prevertebral fascia
Retropharyngeal space
Right common caroitd branches off of
Brachiocephalic trunk
The left common carotid arises
On its own
Which nerve responds to the information that the glossopharyngeal nerve sends to the CNS from the carotid body and sius?
CN X
What is the gold standard for treating atherosclerosis?
Carotid endarterectomy
What is a possible symptom of a patient with carotid stenosis?
Fainting spells
Venous return from branches of the external carotid mostly go to the
Internal jugular vein
Courses lateral to the carotids and just superior to the hyoid bone
Hyoglossal nerve
