A

rinnie and webers test

31
Q

what does the spinal accessory nerve do?

A

motor to trapezius and sternocleidomastoid

32
Q

which cranial foramina does the spinal accessory nerve travel through?

A

jugular foramen

33
Q

how do test the spinal accessory nerve?

A

ask them shrug shoulders

ask them to turn head and flex neck

34
Q

what does the hypoglossal nerve do?

A

motor to tongue muscles (most of them)

35
Q

what formamen does the hypoglossal nerve travel through?

A

hypoglossal canal

36
Q

where does CN VI connect with the CNS?

A

ponto medullary junction

37
Q

where does the spinal accessory nerve connect with the CNS?

A

cervical spinal cord

38
Q

where does teh hypoglossal nerve connect with the CNS?

A

via rootlets lateral to the pyramids of the medulla oblongata

39
Q

how do you test the hypogloassal nerve?

A

ask them to stick out tongue

if there is CN VII pathology the tongue will point to the damaged side
