Q

What is the 2 autonomic motor neurone pools?

A

Edinger westphal and anteromedian nuclei

19
Q

Which is the largest of all nerves?

A

Oculormotor (3rd) nerve

20
Q

What axons does 3rd nerve have?

A

Both somatic and parasympathetic axons
-mojority are voluntary motor axons to (MR, SR, IO, IR and LPS) occupy the centre of the nereve

-The rest pre ganglionic autonomic axons (to ciliary ganglion ) which are superficial in the nerve

21
Q

What are these axons?

A

Uncrossed, but supplying the SR projects contra laterally- their axons cross in the upper midbrain just as they exit the nucleus

22
Q

How do the SR axons project?

A

Contra laterally crossed in the upper midbrain just as they exit the nucleus

23
Q

What is the intra cerebral 3rd nerve course?

A

Via Red nucleus and medial part of cerebral peduncle into the spinal chord

24
Q

How do axons emerge into the fossa?

A

The nerve exits ventral midbrain :
>into subarachnoid space at the inter pedunculur fossa
>passes between the PCA &SCA then inferno lateral to the PCoA
>Travels forward in sub-arachnoid space
>To enter dural sheath forming the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus
enters the orbit via superior orbital fissure

25
Q

What does PCA stand for?

A

Posterior cerebral artery

26
Q

What does SCA stand for?

A

Superior cerebellar artery

27
Q

What does PCoA stand for?

A

Posterior communicating artery

28
Q

What are cells of arachnoid membrane called ?

A

Meningiothelial cells

29
Q

What does the PCA supply ?

A

Occipital lobe

30
Q

What does the SCA supply ?

A

Superior cerebellum

31
Q

What is the basilar artery?

A

Two vertible arteries uniting to form large artery that runs along midline of the pons

32
Q

What is the Intra cerebral 6th nerve course?

A

Through the basal pons and pyramidal tract

33
Q

Where is the trochlear nuclei located?

A

At the midline in lower midbrain at the level of inferior colliculus

34
Q

What are the two unique distinguish features of 4th nerve?

A

Emerges from dorsal surface of the brainstem

Carries axons that cross completely inside the brain

  • nuclei supplies the opposite SO muscle
  • nerve outside the brain supplies the SO muscle on same side
35
Q

What is the smallest diameter of the 4th nerve?

A

3000-4000 axons

but longest intra cranial course

36
Q

Intra cerebral 4th nerve course?

A

Around the Peri aqueductal grey PAG and across the superior medullary velum SMV

37
Q

Where is the abducens nuclei located?

A

Located close to midline of middle of pons just below the facial colliculi

38
Q

Intra cerebral 6th nerve course>?

A

Through the basal pons and pyramidal tract

39
Q

what arteries are trochlear close to?

A

Superior cerebellar artery

basilar artery

40
Q

What arteries is abducens nerve close to?

A

AICA- anterior inferior cerebellar artery

Basilar artery

41
Q

What is part of spenoid bone?

A

Apex of petrous temporal bone

42
Q

What else does the 6th nerve pass in intra orbital nerve course ?

A

Annular of tendon

43
Q

MCQ: The abducens nerve passes close to which of the structures during its course from the brainstem to the orbit?

A

Pyramidal tract
