14b – Cranial Nerve Part II Flashcards
Olfactory nerve (I):
-special sense of SMELL
-multiple tracts
-nerves covered by MENINGES
-pass thru olfactory foramina in cribriform plate of ethmoid
-transmit sense of smell
-also include VOMERONASAL nerves
Optic nerve (II):
-special sense of VISION
-very LARGE
-flexuous course thru orbit to reach eye
-INTERNAL ophthalmic artery travels with it
‘orbital fissure’ in ruminants and pigs:
-orbitorotundum
Oculomotor nerve (III):
-through orbital fissure (dogs and horses)
>orbitorotundum (ruminants and pigs)
-ventral root equivalent
Oculomotor nerve (III) is motor to:
-dorsal, ventral and medial RECTI
-ventral oblique
-LEVATOR of upper eyelid
-parts of retractor bulbi
Oculomotor nerve (III) is ANS to:
-ciliary body to regulate LENS
-iris to constrict pupil
Trochlear nerve (IV):
-through orbital fissure (dogs and horses)
>orbitorotundum (ruminants and pigs)
-ventral root equivalent
Trochlear nerve (IV) is motor to:
-DORSAL oblique
-SMALLEST CN
Trigeminal nerve (V):
-dorsal root equivalent
-LARGEST CN
-3 main divisions
3 main divisions of trigeminal nerve (V):
-opthalmic (V1)
-maxillary (V2)
-mandibular (V3)
Where do the 3 divisions of trigeminal nerve (V) pass thru?
-orbital fissure (V1)
-ROUND foramen (V2)
-oval foramen (V3)
Function of trigeminal nerve (V):
-V1 and V2: sensory
-V3: mixed
*main sensory of head
-including rostral 2/3rd of tongue
-sinuses
-motor to MASTICATORY muscles
Trigeminal nerve is motor to masticatory muscles:
-masseter
-temporalis
-pterygoids
-rostral belly of digastricus
Ophthalmic nerve (V1):
-SENSORY to skin of FOREHEAD and most of NASAL cavity
What nerves branch off of ophthalmic nerve?
-lacrimal nerve
-frontal nerve
-nasociliary nerve
Lacrimal nerve to:
-lacrimal glands
-other deeper orbital structures
-skin lateral to eye
Frontal nerve to:
-skin of upper eyelid and forehead
-MUCOSA of frontal sinus
-provides alterative innervation of horns
Nasociliary nerve branches:
-long ciliary nerve
-infratrochlear nerve
-ethmoidal nerve
Nasociliary nerve in small ruminants:
-forms main nerve of horn
>alternative innervation of horns in cattle
Long ciliary nerve to:
-cornea
Infratrochlear nerve to:
-medial angle of eye
-part of frontal sinus
Ethmoidal nerve:
-re-enters cranial cavity (via ethmoidal foramen)
-goes into nasal cavity (via cribriform plate
>to medial and lateral walls of nasal cavity
Maxillary nerve (V2):
-SENSORY to:
>skin of MUZZLE
>mucosa of ORAL cavity
>parts of nasal cavity
>upper teeth
Branches off of maxillary nerve:
-zygomatic nerve
-palatine nerve
-caudal nasal nerve
-cranial nasal nerve
-maxillary alveolar nerve
-infraorbital nerve
Zygomatic nerve to:
-lower eyelid and adjacent skin
-gives rise to other branches
>cornual nerve=main nerve for horn in cattle
Palatine nerve to:
-lesser palatine nerve: soft palate
-greater palatine nerve: hard palate and floor of nasal cavity
