Review Slides Flashcards
Innervation: Muscles of Palate (Except Tensor Palati)
CN X
Otitis media
middle ear infection. Common in children. The middle ear is a dead end cavity
Function of tarsal glands (in eyelid)
keeps tears from evaporating (they release this oily thing; not important)
Location of pulse of carotid artery
upper border of thyroid cartilage
Cartilage to bone distribution of Auditory Tube
Anterior 2/3 are cartilage. Posterior 1/3 is bone.
What does the hypothalamus control
sympathetic function
How can an infection from the respiratory, prolonged in the auditory ossicles, lead to the brain?
Via the tegmen tympani (roof of middle ear)
Failure of fusion of medial nasal process and maxillary process can lead to…
cleft lip
Cranial nerve supplied by third branchial arch
IX
Site of Oropharyngeal membrane
palatoglossal arch
How to tell facial arteries and veins apart?
Facial arteries wiggle around. Facial vein completely straight
Cause of cleft lip
failure of fusion of medial nasal and maxillary processes
Epidural hematoma is (fast/slow)
fast
Cranial nerve supplied by second branchial arch
VII
Vertebral level of carotid artery pulse
vertebral level C4
Why can’t children with middle ear infections localize pain?
Sensory innervation is visceral sensory, so it’s not precise
Cranial nerve supplied by fourth branchial arch
X
Neurons with all processes (dendrites and axons) inside the CNS
Interneuron
Innervation: Tensor Tympani
CN V (V3)
An increase in CSF pressure can affect vision. What surrounds the optic nerve?
Dura and Subarachnoid Space
Babinski sign is a result of…
upper motor neuron lesion
Swelling of the optic disc (where optic nerve leaves eye)
Papilledema
Mumps
Viral infection of the parotid gland
Lesion associated with clasped knife reflex
upper motor neuron lesions
Push cerebellum through foramen magnum
tonsillar herniation
Connect orbit and nasal cavities between ethmoid and frontal bones. Contains anterior and posterior ethmoidal nerves, arteries, and veins (branches of V1 and Opthalmic artery/vein)
Anterior and Posterior Ethmoidal Foramina
Found medial and dorsal to optic nerve
Long Ciliary Nerves
Formed from Branchial Pouch 3
Inferior Parathyroid Glands and Thymus Gland
Contents of supraorbital foramen in frontal bone
Supraorbital nerve (from V1), supraorbital artery/vein, and opthalmic artery/vein
Sensory fiber type. Monosynaptic connections with alpha motor neurons (fastest reflexes)
Group Ia
Action of orbicularis oculi
close eye
Cranial nerve supplied by first branchial arch
V (all in V3)
Branches of the Facial Nerve running through the Parotid Gland (Superior to Inferior)
- Temporal
- Zygomatic
- Buccal
- Mandibular
- Cervical
Mnemonic: Tır Zevki BMC
Lower motor neuron disorder of Facial Nerve
bell’s palsy
Circular smooth muscle constricting the pupil
Constrictor Pupil
Lateral Strabismus
Wall-eyed. Due to paralyzed medial rectus
Functions of chorda tympani nerve in tympanic membrane
1) carries taste special sense
2) parasympathetic fibers to the submandibular ganglion
Innervation: Stylopharyngeus
CN IX
Torn in an epidural hematoma
middle mingeal artery
What is blurred vision (diplopia) caused by
Two eyes not moving together (CN III, IV, VI)
Two things that open eye
sympathetics and oculomotor nerve
Thickening of the lens for near vision
Accomodation
Crescent shaped hematoma on CT
subdural hematoma
Sense lost if tympanic membrane is pierced
taste
Are the temporalis and masseter inside or outside of the mandible
outside
Sensory fiber type. Either Monosynaptic connections direct to motor neuron or polysynaptic connections to motor neurons via interneurons.
Group II
Thin plane of petrous part of temporal bone; separates from middle cranial fossa
Tegmen Tympani.
Passes through Parotid Gland
1) CN VII
2) Retromandibular Vein
3) External Carotid Artery
4) Auriculotemporal nerve (V3)
Innervation to Dilator Pupil muscle
sympathetics
Parts of the brainstem leading into the spinal cord
Midbrain -> Pons -> Medulla
Outflow of parasympathetic innervation
Cranio-sacral levels
Obstruction of tarsal (Meibomian) glands in eyelid
Chalazion
Innervation: Muscles of Pharynx (minus stylopharyngeus)
CN X
When lens is thickened, suspensory ligaments are…
relaxed
Lens shaped mass on CT
epidural hematoma
In maxillary and lacrimal bones and inferior nasal concha; contains: tears
Nasolacrimal Duct
Function of Lateral and Medial Pterygoid
Aid lateral movement of jaw by pulling toward opposite side
Innervation: Mylohyoid
CN V (V3)
