CN V3
31
which nerve forms the first part of the afferent limb of the blink reflex
long ciliary nerve
32
where does the facial nerve attach to the CNS
at the pontomedullary junction
33
which bone is the internal acoustic meatus and stylomastoid foramen
temporal bone
34
which nerve innervates the stapedius muscle
CN VII
35
what is the chorda tympani and what doe it supply
it is a branch of the CN VII | supplies anterior 2/3rds of tongue and parasympathetic innervation to submandibular and sublingual glands
36
what is the normal result of ankle jerk
plantarflexion
37

39
what does the facial canal connect
the internal acoustic meatus to the stylomastoid foramen
40
which muscle is below the buccal fat pad
buccinator
41
where does CN IX exit
junction between temporal and occipital bone-jugular foramen
42
specifically which tastebuds does CN IX supply
vallate
