Ansa cervicalis
loop of nerve fibers from anterior rami of C1-3

Can use _____Root of ansa cervicalis to find _______
superior

anterior to anterior scalene
C3, C4, C5
in the interscalene triangle
7
SCM and trapezius are innervated by
spinal accessory nerve XI
trap C3-4

8
GSA fibers innervate structures of what embryologic origin?
ectoderm (skin)
9
GVA fibers innervate structures of what embryologic origin
endodermal
gut
(post 1/3 of tongue to mid-portion of the transverse colon
10
GSE fibers innervate structures of what embryological origin
myotomic origin
(in head and neck= extraocular muscles and intrinsic muscles of the tongue)
11
GVE fibers innervate
smooth muscle and gland
12
GSA fibers convey
pain
temperature
tactile
pressure
proprioception
13
GSA primarily conveyed by what nerve
trigeminal
14
GVA fibers convey
visceral pain (stretch, ischemia)
reflexus
15
sharp, highly localized sensations, think...
GSA
16
dull, aching, burning, poorly localized sensations think...
GVA
17
GVE fibers are associated with the _______ fibers coursing in which CN's?
parasympathetic
III, VII, IX, X
18
GVE are components of the ______
ANS
autonomic, not sensory
may be parasympathetic or sympathetic
19
ALL GSA fibers
trigeminal
20
Sensory nucleus for all sensations from the face
trigeminal sensory complex
trigeminal sensory nuclei
21
All GVA and SVA (taste)
solitary nucleus (NTS)
22
sensory nucleus for general sensations from the posterior 1?3 of the tongue to the midportion of the transverse colon
Solitary nucleus or Nucleus tractus solitarius
23
Clinically if we are concerned with the GVE parasympathetic column, what are we concerned with?
pupils
lacrimal gland
submandibular and sublingual glands
parotid gland
24
What nucleus and ganglion are concerned with GVE parasympathetic innervation to ciliary mm of the eye and sphincter pupillae
Edinger-Westphal nucleus,
Ciliary ganglion
25
What nucleus and ganglion (2) are concerned with sending parasympathetic fibers to the lacrimal gland and submandibular and sublingual glands?
Superior salivatory nucleus
sphenopalatine ganglion (lacrimal)
submandibular ganglion (submandibular and sublingual glands)
26
What nucleus and ganglion are concerned with sending parasympathetics to the partotid gland
Inferior salivatory nucleus and otic ganglion
27
What nucleus and ganglia are concerned with sending parasympathetics to the larynx, pharynx, thorax, and abdomen?
Dorsal Motor nucleus (X) sending fibers to scattered ganglia (go on to inn various glands and smooth muscles in these regions)
28
Vagus nerve sends parasympathetics
from neck to thorax (heart and lungs) to abdomen
vagus has a huge territory
innervates ENDODERM
29
what are the functional components associated with each of the branchial arches that we care about
one nerve
one blood vessel
these functional components are related to embryology, they are a genetic connection. Once these associations are made, they are not broken
30
Endoderm =
post 1/3 of tong to about 1 inch above the anus.
all the lining stuff
31
ectoderm =
skin
32
myotomic =
GSE
33
What is the nerve associated with branchial arch 1
what are its sensory and motor components
Trigeminal
cheif sensory nerve of the face
mm of mastication (these muscles then are not myotomic, they are branchiomeric)
34
branchiomeric =
SVE
35
myotomic muscles vs branchiomeric muscles in the head
myotomic= tongue and extraocular muscles (GSE)
branchiomeric= muscles of mastication (?) and muscles of facial expression? muscles of laynx and pharynx (?)
36
What nerve is associated with branchial arch 2
facial nerve
innervates muscles of facial expression
37
What nerve is associated with branchial arch 4?
vagus nerve, innervates muscles of the laynx and pharynx
38
what cranial nerves pass through the jugular foramen
IX, X, XI
39
Hypoglossal N.
innervates
lesion looks like
All muscles of the tongue, except palatoglossal
lesions result in deviation of the protruded tongue TOWARDS AFFECTED SIDE
40
nucleus ambiguous concerned with muscles of
the larynx and pharynx
41
Glossopharyngeal nerve
innervation
lesions look like
SENSORY, sensory part of gag reflex. sensory to post 1/3 of tongue and pharynx too
loss of gag reflex
slight dysphagia
loss of sensation in pharynx and posterior 1/3 of tongue
42
difficulty swallowing is a big deal because
can lead to aspiration pneumonia
43
Vagus nerve - important branches
pharyngeal
superior laryngeal (internal and external)
recurrent laryngeal
