Q

So the foramen ovale and the foramen spinosum are wildly important, because one of the foramen has something neat coming out of the cranium and one has something neat going into the cranium….what are they?

Q

What happens if you open your jaw too wide (i.e extreme protraction)?

A

you will move your condyle too far anteriorly and roll of the articular tubercle and thus into the space where your strong muscles of mastication are which will cause uniform contraction and prevent the return of the condyle to its previous location. To fix this you must use muscle relaxants and shove it back into place.

Q

What is the chordi tympani?

Where will it go?

form the chordi tympani which will hit up the lingual nerve for a ride to the tongue

it is a tiny branch off CN 9 that exits the foramen ovale along side the mandibular division of CN 5, that synapses at the otic ganglion.

120
Q

What fibers are on the lesser petrosal nerve?

A

only preganglionic parasympathetics

121
Q

where does the petrosal nerve synapse and what happens after this point?

126
Q

A tiny little nucleus called the inferior salivatory sits next to the (blank) column in the medulla and sends preganglionic axons out with cranial nerve IX.
