Q

Are there any sympathetic nerve fibers in cranial nerves?

A

No
Sympathetic nerves all arise form thoracic spinal cord
Sympathetic nerves do innervate structures in head but presynaptic neurons are in intermediolateral horn of thoracic spinal cord

16
Q

Cranial nerve pathways - general somatic afferent

A

CN V, VII, IX, X
Sensory information from the face, skeletal muscles, oral cavity, cornea, teeth
Each nerve has its own sensory ganglion

17
Q

First & second & third order neurons in somatic afferent paths

A

1st - sensory neurons synapse in trigeminal nuclei
2nd - cross and ascend to the thalamus (trigeminalthamalic)
3rd - ascend to primary sensory cortex

18
Q

CN Responsible for sensation in lips

A

Trigeminal nerve

19
Q

General visceral afferent

A

V - meninges
IX - rostral pharynx, middle ear, carotid body, meninges
X - caudal pharynx, larynx, meninges

20
Q

Pathway for GVA

A

Similar to GSA
Cell body in ganglion
Synapse in spinal trigeminal nucleus
2nd order neurons project to thalamus (trigeminothalamic)
3rd order neurons project to somatosensory cortex

21
Q

Special sense

A

Special somatic afferent
Special visceral afferent

22
Q

Special somatic afferent

A

Vision
Hearing and balance

23
Q

Special visceral afferent

A

Taste
Olfaction

24
Q

Nerve responsible for brain freeze

A

Glossopharyngeal

25
Q

Taste receptors

A

Special visceral afferent (located just in head)
VII, IX, X
Sweet, salty, bitter, sour, savory

26
Q

Taste receptors

A

Secondary sensory receptors
3 types of specialized receptors
Grouped together, distributed in papillae on tongue

27
Q

Type 1 taste receptors

A

Salty - Na channels

28
Q

Type 2 taste receptors

A

Sweet, bitter, umami (g protein receptor activates Na channel)

29
Q

Type 3 taste receptor

A

Sour, H+ channel (depolarizes the cell)

30
Q

Taste pathways

A

CN VII, IX, X
Cell bodies in sensory ganglia
Synapse in nucleus of solitary tract
2nd order neurons project to the thalamus
3rd order neurons project to the gustatory cortex
pathway DOES NOT cross midline

31
Q

2nd order taste pathway

A

Project into thalamus

32
Q

3rd order taste pathway

A

Project into the gustatory cortex

33
Q

Gustatory cortex

A

Located on the lateral frontal lobe
Different tastes localized to specific areas
Representation can change based on experience

34
Q

Comparative gustatory neurophys

A

dogs are not sensitive to salty taste
Cats are taste blind to sweet
Dogs have receptors that detect meat & fat
Dogs & cats can taste water
Cats have receptors for ATP in meat

35

A

Dogs - 1700
Cats - 470

36
Q

Cranial nerve I

A

Olfactory
Arises from telencephalon
