Q

Cranial nerves function m, s, both?
Function

A

Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Boobs Matter More

27
Q

Outline visual pathway?

A

1) Optic nerve
2) Optic chiasm
3) Optic tract
4) Lateral geniculate body
5) Internal capsule
5) Visual cortex of occipital lobe

28
Q

Outline visual pathway- draw

A

Axons on left LON pick up- left nasal field
Axons on left RON pick up- right temporal
- cross optic chiasm
Meet left geniculate nucleus

Axons right RON pick up- right nasal field
Axons right LON pick up- left temporal
- cross optic chiasm

Axons at nasal retina responsible temporal
Axons at temporal retina responsible nasal

Fibres from nasal portion of the retina (carrying the TEMPORAL visual fields) cross at the optic chiasm

29
Q

Which fibres cross at chiasm?

A

Fibres from nasal portion of the retina (carrying the TEMPORAL visual fields) cross at the optic chiasm

30
Q

Where do fibres carry info from inferior portions retina (superior visual fields) travel?
What loop?

A

Loop laterally through temporal lobe to visual cortex
Meyers loop

31
Q

Where do fibres from superior retina (therefore the INFERIOR visual fields) travel?

A

Loop superiorly through parietal lobe to visual cortex

32
Q

What fibres travel in meyers loop?

A

Fibres carry info from inferior portion retina
Superior visual field

Loop laterally through temporal lobe to visual cortex

33
Q

What does pituitary tumour cause?

A

Bitemporal hemianopia
Impaired peripheral vision in outer temporal
Press optic chiasm where nerve fibres from both ON cross

34
Q
A
35
Q

Left optic nerve lesion what will occur?

A

Blindness left eye
Left anopia

36
Q

Lesion optic chiasm- pit tumour what will occur?

A

Nerves that capture temporal unable pass
Bitemporal hemianopia

37
Q

Lesion after optic chiasm on left?

A

Lose vision left nasal, right temporal
Right homonymous hemiopia

37
Q

Lesion after optic chiasm on left?

A

Lose vision left nasal, right temporal
Right homonymous hemiopia

38
Q

Where are cones and rods concentrated?

A

Fovea

39
Q

Damage meyers cause what?

A

Right superior Quadrantanopia
Loss vision superior quadrant
Left temporal lesion

40
Q

What would cause damage to meyers?

A

Left temporal lesion

41
Q

What would damage to Baums lead to?

A
42
Q
A
43
Q

What nerve carries axons of cells of retina?

A

1) Optic nerve

44
Q

What does optic nerve pass through?

A

Optic canal

45
Q

Outline visual field pathway

A

1) Photoreceptors in retina stimulated by photons of light
2) Light sensitive membrane proteins (rhodopsin) stimulate conversion light energy into electrical signals
3) Photoreceptors synapse with retinal bipolar cells which transmit signals to retinal ganglion cells
4) Retinal ganglion cells converge optic disc and form optic nerve
5) Optic nerve exits eye through cavernous sinus
6) Left and right optic nerves converge at optic chiasm
7) Fibres from nasal aspect of retina decussate to contralateral
8) Fibres from temporal retina remain on sides
9) Optic tracts extend from chiasm to thalamus
10) Synapse at lateral geniculate nucleus
11) Radiate to occipital lobe
12) Optic radiations travel parietal or temporal (Meyers) lobe
13) Optic radiations terminate in calcarine sulcus of occipital lobe
14) Calcarine sulcus responsible retinal image processeing

46
Q

Function of calcarine sulcus?

A

Retinal image processing

47
Q

What fibres decussate?

A

Fibres from nasal

48
Q

Briefly outline visual pathway?

A

Retina
Optic nerve
Optic chiasm
Optic radiations
Visual centre occipital lobe

49
Q

At optic chiasm what fibres decussate?

A

Fibres from nasal half retina- correspond temporal visual field

50
Q

What do optic nerve lesions result in?

A

Ipsilateral blindness one eye

51
Q

Lesion optic chiasm causes what? Why what could cause?

A

Bitemporal hemianopia
At the optic chiasm, fibres from the nasal half of the retina, corresponding to the temporal visual field, decussate.
Pituitary tumour/adenoma

52
Q

What do lesions optic radiations cause?

A

Contralateral quadrantanopia
Meyers- pie in sky
Parietal- baums- lower quadrantinopia

53
Q

What do pre-chiasmal lesions result in?

A

ipsilateral monocular visual field

54
Q

What do post=chiasmal lesions result in?

A

homonymous visual field defects of the contralateral side

55
Q

What do lesions chiasm result in?

A

Bitemporal hemianopia

55
Q

What do lesions chiasm result in?

A

Bitemporal hemianopia
