17
Q

Accessory Nerve
Fnction of Cranial Accessory Nerve and Vagus Nerve

A

Muscles of Pharynx: Pharyngeal Branch of Vagus Nerve
Muscles of Larynx: Recurrent Laryngeal Branch of Vagus Nerve

18
Q

Accessory Nerve
Cranial Accessory Nerve considered a branch of …

vagus nerve

19
Q

Accessory Nerve
Fill out Accessory Nerve Pathway

20
Q

Accessory Nerve
Function of Spinal Accessory Nerve

A

Supplies Sternocleidomastoid and Trapezius

21
Q

Accessory Nerve
Lesion of Nucleus Ambiguous affects ____ and causes ____

A

__X and XI nerves and Spinothalamic Tract__
__Avellis Syndrome__

22
Q

Accessory Nerve
Ipsilateral Lesion causes …

A

Palatine, Pharyngeal and Laryngeal Muscle Paralysis (Tensor Palati still functions because it is innervated by Trigeminal Nerve)
Uvula deivates to Contralateral Side of Lesion
Contralateral Loss of Pain and Temperature

23
Q

Hypoglossal Nerve
Function

A

Supplies Intrinsic and Extrinsic Muscles of Tongue except Palatoglossus

Palatoglossus is supplied by the Cranial Accessory Nerve

24
Q

Hypoglossal Nerve
Fill out Hypoglossal Nerve Pathway

25
Q

Hypoglossal Nerve
Effects of LMNL of Hypoglossal Nerve

A

Paralysis & Atrophy of Tongue on Same Side (Tongue deviates to side of the lesion)
Affected Side will show Fasciculations

26
Q

Hypoglossal Nerve
Effects of UMNL of Hypoglossal Nerve

A

Muscles of the Tongue receive double innervation from Corticonuclear Tract
Only Genioglossus is Unilaterally controlled by contralateral Corticonuclear tract causing Contralateral Tongue deviation
