XV. Cranial Nerves Flashcards
What are the 6 different modalities of cranial nerves?
General somatic efferent General visceral efferent Special visceral efferent General somatic afferent General visceral afferent Sensory afferent
Ganglion of CNIII
Ciliary ganglion (autonomic)
Ganglion of CNV
Trigeminal ganglion (sensory)
Ganglions (x3) of CNVII
Geniculate ganglion (sensory) Pterygopalatine ganglion (autonomic) Submandibular ganglion (autonomic)
Ganglions (x2) of CNVIII
Spiral ganglion (sensory) Vestibular ganglion (sensory)
Ganglions (x3) of CNIX
Superior ganglion (sensory) Inferior (petrosal) ganglion (sensory) Otic ganglion (autonomic)
Ganglions (x3) of CNX
Superior (jugular) ganglion (sensory)
Inferior (nodose) ganglion (sensory)
Prevertebral/intramural ganglia (autonomic)
Describe sensory afferent of primary/secondary neurons of CN I
Primary neurons in olfactory epithelium sends 20 bundles of axon (olfactory nerve proper) across cribiform plate to synapse with secondary neurons (mitral/tufted cells) within olfactory bulbs
What are the 2 cell types in the olfactory bulb?
Mitral (lateral olfactory area)
Tufted (anterior olfactory nucleus, lateral, intermediate and medial olfactory areas)
Secondary neuron axons of CNI are sent to which 3 area?
- Primary (lateral) olfactory area (Uncus, entorhinal/ant hippocampal gyrus, limen insula, part of amygdala)
- Anterior perforated substance (intermediate olf area)
- Medial olfactory area (septal area) in subcallosal region of medial frontal lobe - emotional response with limbic connections
What connects all 3 olfactory areas
Diagonal band of Broca
What is the pyriform cortex
Pear-shaped are containing uncus, entorhinal, limen insula of primary olfactory area
Efferent fibers of CN I from medial forebrain bundle all travel to where?
Lateral olfactory area to Hypothalamus
Efferent fibers from olfactory area travel in stria medullaris thalami to where?
Septal area to Habenular nucleus
Efferent fibers from olfactory area travel in stria terminalis from amygdala to where?
anterior hypothalamus and preoptic area
