Week 5 Flashcards
Sympathetic nerve division
Thoracolumbar
Parasympathetic nerve division
Cranial sacral
Special Senses
Smell, vision, hearing, balance, taste
Upper motor neureons function
Primary motor cortex
Lower motor neuron
brainstem , spinal cord
Are motor cranial nerves located more medially or laterally?
Medially
CN I
Olfactory
CN I infromation
SSA
CN I foramen
Cribriform plate
CN I nucleus
Olfactory bulb
CN I lesions
Anosmia (loss of smell)
Which is the only CN nerve not to have a direct pathway to the thalmus
Olfactory Nerve
CN II
optic Nerve
CN II information
SSA
CN II foramen
Optic canal
Which optic info cross over at the optic canal?
Nasal retina
CNS nucleus of CN II
LGN (lateral geniculate nucleus)
What id optic radiation
Visual info from CN II synapsing from the lateral genticulate nucleus to the visual cortex (occipital lobe)
name the 3 projections of CN II
Hypothalmus - Regulation of cicardian rythms
Pretectum: Refelx control of pupil and lense
Superior colliculus: orientating movement of head and eyes
Name and describe the 2 pathways from the lateral genticulate nucleus to the visual cortex
Myers loop : travels via temporal lobe , fibres are for inferior retinal quadrants (inferior visual field)
Second Lopp: travels via parietal lobe. fibres from superior retinal quadrants (inferior visual field)
Name the 2 projections from visual cortec once SSA has been interpreted
Ventral pathway (temporal lobe) - object recignition
Dorsal pathway (parietal lobe) - Spatial vision
What are the names of CN III, IV & VI? and what are there main functions?
Occulomotor, Torchlear, Abducens
Eye movement
What is the mnemonic for CN 3,4 and 6?
LR 6 SO 4 R 3
Which muscle does CN IV control?
Superior Oblique
Whuch muscle does CN VI control?
Lateral Rectus
What movement is associated with the Inferior oblique eye muscle?
up and lateral
is CN III motor or visceral?
BOTH
What is the nucleus for CN III?
Occulomotor
