Q

innervation of orbicularis oris?

A

facial nerve

17
Q

innervation of levator palpebrae superioris?

A

oculomotor nerve

18
Q

6 extrinsic eye muscles that move the eyeball?

A

inferior oblique
lateral rectus
medial rectus
inferior rectus
superior oblique
superior rectus

19
Q

superior oblique - innervation and action?

A

CNIV (trochlear)
depression, abduction, intorsion (inward rotational movement)
‘down and out’

20
Q

inferior oblique - innervation and action?

A

CNIII (oculomotor)
elevation, abduction, extorsion (outward rotational movement)
‘up and out’

21
Q

superior rectus - innervation and action?

A

CNIII (oculomotor)
elevation, adduction

22
Q

inferior rectus - innervation and action?

A

CNIII (oculomotor)
depression, adduction

23
Q

medial rectus - innervation and action?

A

CNIII (oculomotor)
adduction

24
Q

lateral rectus - innervation and action?

A

CNVI (abducens)
abduction

25
Q

clinical effect of CNVI (abducens) palsy? which muscles are affected?

A

diplopia when looking to the side ipsilateral to the palsy.
affected muscle = lateral rectus

26
Q

clinical effect of CNIV (trochlear) palsy? which muscles are affected?

A

vertical diplopia, particularly noticeable on down gaze
affected muscle = superior oblique

27
Q

clinical effect of CNIII (oculomotor) palsy? which muscles are affected?

A

ptosis (drooping of upper eyelid). when attempting to stare straight ahead, the eye looks down.
muscles affected = levator palpabrae superioris, inferior and medial rectus, inferior oblique

not in worksheet but surely also the superior rectus?

28
Q

which cranial nerve makes up the afferent limb of the gag reflex?

A

glossopharyngeal nerve

29
Q

course of the trigeminal nerve? (and its branches?)

A

maxillary nerve -> foramen rotundum

ophthalmic nerve -> superior orbital fissure

mandibular nerve -> foramen ovale

-»> trigeminal ganglion -> trigeminal sensory nucleus -> thalamus -> internal capsule -> cortex

30
Q

which four cranial nerves carry autonomic innervation?

A

3, 7, 9, 10
III - oculomotor nerve
VII - facial nerve
IX - glossopharyngeal nerve
X - vagus nerve

31
Q

which tissues does CNIII provide parasympathetic innervation? what is the function of this?

A

sphincter pupillae - constricts pupil

ciliary muscles - contraction to shorten lens and focus on short range objects

32
Q

which tissues does CNVII provide parasympathetic innervation? what is the function of this?

A

mucosa of the oral/nasal cavities and pharynx - produce mucous

lacrimal gland - produce tears

submandibular and sublingual glands - produce saliva

33
Q

which tissues does CNIX provide parasympathetic innervation? what is the function of this?

A

parotid gland - produce saliva

34
Q

which tissues does CNX provide parasympathetic innervation? what is the function of this?

A

heart - reduce resting heart rate

GI organs - smooth muscle contraction and secretion of digestive juices
