Q

31
Q

Visceral motor functions of CNIX

A

autonomic: Responsible for salivation of the parotid gland which is innervated by the Inferior Salivatory Nucleus

32
Q

Somatosensory functions (innervates) of CNIX

A

The Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus is responsible for process a small area behind the outer ear

33
Q

Branchial motor functions (innervates) of CNIX

A

Stylopharyngeus which is a small muscle that helps elevate the pharynx during speaking and swallowing

34
Q

damage to CNIX can result in

A

usually accompanied by damage to Cranial nerve X. Most common is reduced pharyngeal sensation and reduced gag reflex. Can also affect pharyngeal elevation during the swallow (the motor aspects). Can show excessive salivation (especially during bilateral innervation)

35
Q

CNX is

A

Vagus–A very complex mixed motor and sensory nerve that has very long axons. Very important in speech production.

36
Q

most widely distributed of the cranial nerves

A

CNX, Vagus. vagus means wandering

37
Q

motor and sensory fibers of CNX innervate

A

soft palate, pharynx, larynx

38
Q

This Visceral Motor Nerve of CNX innervates

A

parasympathetic functions over most of the internal organs and glands from the larynx to the intestines.

39
Q

Visceral Sensory Fibers of CNX innervate

A

the thoracic and abdominal viscera, including pressure receptors and chemoreceptors of the aortic arch as well as some of the taste buds of the epiglottis

40
Q

Branchial Motor Fibers innervate

A

most of the striated muscles of the larynx and pharynx

41
Q

A ____ gag reflex response is the ____ response to the stimulation in the back of the ____. what cranial nerve

A

bilateral, efferent, pharynx, CNX (Vagus)

42
Q

CNX (____ nerve) emerges from _____ ____ of _____ & then branches off three ways

A

vagus, lateral aspect, medulla

43
Q

three branches of CNX

A

Pharyngeal branch, Superior Laryngeal Branch, Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

44
Q

Responsible for pharyngeal constriction and retraction and elevation of the soft palate during speech and swallowing. Also innervates the palatoglossus of the tongue.

A

Pharyngeal branch

45
Q

Pharyngeal branch is responsible for

A

pharyngeal constriction and retraction and elevation of the soft palate during speech and swallowing.

46
Q

Superior Laryngeal Branch forms

A

internal and external laryngeal nerves

47
Q

internal nerves of the superior laryngeal branch is/functions

A

pure sensory, carries sensation from the mucous membrane lining the larynx down to the vocal folds, epiglottis, base of tongue, aryepiglottic folds, and dorsum of the arytenoid cartilage. It also transmits sensory information from the muscle spindles and other stretch receptors in the larynx.

48
Q

external nerves of the superior laryngeal branch does what

A

supplies the inferior pharyngeal constrictor and the cricothyroid muscle. It lengthens the vocal folds and is important in pitch adjustments.

49
Q

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve innervates

A

all of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid muscle. There is also a sensory function of some of the fibers which transmit info. from vocal folds and larynx.

50
Q

What is responsible for all laryngeal motor activities involved in phonation & swallowing?

A

Superior and Recurrent Laryngeal nerves

51
Q

there is a cranial and spinal portion to this nerve

A

CN XI

52
Q

the cranial portion of CNXI

A

o Fibers go to uvula, levator veli palatini, and intrinsic laryngeal muscle and these fibers intermingle with fibers from the vagus nerve
o Its branches join or become part of the superior and recurrent laryngeal branches of the vagus.

53
Q

the spinal portion of CNXI

A

o The cell bodies are located in the ventral horn of the first 5-6 cervical segments of the spinal cord (arises from the spinal accessory nucleus). They innervate the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle.

54
Q

damage to CNXI will result in

A

o weaken head rotation towards the side opposite of the lesion.
o It can reduce the ability to to elevate or shrug the shoulders on the side of the lesion.
o lesions on the left side will have difficulty moving head to the right, etc.

55
Q

Spinal nerves of CNXI are indirectly involved in……….directly the way they impact speech is through…..

A

voice, resonance, and articulation.

respiratory control

56

A

tongue, below, intrinsic, extrinsic

58
Q

Fibers of CNXII originate in the _____ nucleus

A

Hypoglossal

59
Q

damage to CNXII would

A

Damage to the hypoglossal nerve would cause weakness and atrophy in the ipsilateral tongue and upon protruding the tongue it would deviate to the side of the weakness.
