UNIT 2 Flashcards
Main word for flaccid dysarthria
weakness
causes of flaccid dysarthria
impairments of lower motor neurons in cranial or spinal nerves
characteristics of flaccid dysarthria
slow labored articulation, hypernasality, hoarse-breathy phonation, air is escaping
caused by any disorder that _____
disrupts flow of neural impulses along lower motor neurons that innervate muscles of respiration, phonation, articulation, prosody, or resonance
what are the 6 pairs of nerves that play a vital role in speech production
5, 7, 9, 10, 11,12
damage involved in flaccid dysarthria
brainstem stroke, growing tumor, viral or bacterial infection, physical trauma, surgical accidents
3 main branches of trigeminal nerve (5)
opthalmic, maxillary, mandibular
damage to trigeminal nerve can be ___
unilateral or bilateral
facial nerve (7)
branches from brainstem just below trigeminal nerve, dividing it into cerviofacial and temporofacial branch
damage to facial nerve….
can cause weakness or paralysis in all muscles on the same side of the face (drooping of eyelid, mouth, cheek, and other structures)
glossopharyngeal cranial nerve 9 2 main components
tongue and pharynx
innervation of glossopharyngeal nerve
stylopharyngeus and superior pharyngeal constrictor muscles
3 branches of cranial nerve
pharyngeal branch, external superior laryngeal branch, recurrent nerve branch
2 parts of accessory cranial nerve 11
neck and shoulders
where does accessory nerve originate from
in the medulla, just below vagus nerve
what does accessory nerve help innervate
intrinsic muscles of velum, pharynx, and larynx
damage to cranial components of access nerve…..
will affect vagus nerve and vice versa
where does hypoglossal nerve originate from
medulla
what does the hypoglossal nerve innervate
innervations all intrinsic and most extrinsic muslces of the tongue
damage to hypoglossal nerve results in,,,
weakness of tongue or paralysis
primary characteristic of hypoglossal nerve damage
imprecise articulation, phoneme distortion, or slow lingual movements
how many pairs of spinal nerves
31 pairs
