19
Q

What is the action and innervation of the soft palate?

A

Seals off nasal cavity when swallowing
CN IX - sensory
CN V3 and CN X - Motor

20
Q

How is the parotid gland innervated?

Sternothyroid

27
Q

Describe ansa cervicalis

A

C1-C3

30
Q

Which CN is responsible for visceral sensory innervation of the carotid?

31
Q

What makes the cavernous sinus vulnerable to infection?

A

The cavernous sinus is vulnerable because of its connection to the external face via the ophthalmic and pterygoid plexus veins.

32
Q

What is the destination and route of the lesser petrosal nerve?

A

Parotid gland - Parasympathetic
CN IX - Branches in jugular foramen and passes through middle ear along tympanic membrane. Exits near foramen ovale where is joins CN V3

33
Q

What is the destination and route of the greater petrosal nerve?

A

Glands of orbit and nose - Parasympathetic
CN VII - Branches at geniculate ganglion and passes through sphenoid to join CN V2

34
Q

What nerve provides sensory innervation to the dura mater?

A

CN V (all branches)

Q

What does the infraorbital artery feed?

A

Upper jaw, upper teeth, maxillary sinus

37
Q

What does the facial artery feed?

A

Superficial face around cheek, mouth, nose, lower eyelid

“Down and out”

44
Q

What is the function of inferior oblique?

A

Adducts, elevates and laterally rotates eye
“Up and out”
