cranial nerves Flashcards
(31 cards)
functions of CN 1
CN I = olfactory
SPECIAL sensory
functions of CN 2
CN 2 = optic
SPECIAL sensory
functions of CN 3 (2)
CN 3 = occulmotor
SOMATIC motor - to eye
VISCERAL motor - to eye [pupillary sphincter]
parasympathetic ganglion for CN 3 =
ciliary ganglion
CN 4 enters cranial cavity via
superior orbital fissure
functions of CN 4
SOMATIC motor - to eye
injury to CN4 results in
diplopia when looking down as CN 4 is somatic motor to eye
occulomotor nerve innervates muscles of eye:
all muscles of eye except superior oblique and lateral rectus [[somatic]]
ciliary muscle and pupillary sphincter [[visceral]]
CN 4 innervates
superior oblique of eye muscle. `
CN 6 function
ABDUCENS
CN 6 function = somatic motor
CN 6 innervates
lateral rectus muslce
injury to CN 6 =
inability to abduct the affected eye
CN 5 v1 function (6)
CN5 V1 = ophthalmic n
SOMATIC sensory
- cornea
- eye lids
- forehead
- scalp
- nose
- nasal mucosa
CN 5V1 exits via
superior orbital fissure
CN 5V2 exits via
MAXILLARY nerve, exits via foramen rotundum
CN 5V2 function (7)
somatic sensory
- upper lip
- skin of face
- maxillary teeth
- maxillary sinuses
- mucosa of nose
- nasopharynx
- palate
CN 5 V3 function (7)
- SOMATIC MOTOR = muscles of mastication
- somatic SENSORY
- 1. mandibular skin
- 2. mandibular teeth
- 3. lower lip
- 4. anterior 2/3 of tongue
- 5. mucosa of mouth
- 6. TMJ
- 7. SIDE OF HEAD
CN V5 V3 exits via
foramen ovale
CN 7 exits via
stylomastoid foramen, via internal acoustic meatus
CN 7 functions
SPECIAL sensory - taste, anterior 2/3 of tongue
Somatic sensory: via geniculum of facial n, small area near ear [external meatus]
Visceral motor - via (para) ptyrogopalatine ganglion and submandibular ganglion
somatic motor: muscles of facial expression [posterior belly of digastric, stylohyoid, stapedius]
- 6 terminal branches
1. posterior auricular
2. temporal
3. zygomatic
4. buccal
5. mandibular
6. cervical
pterygopalatine ganglion inneravtes
lacrimal gland, nasal gland, pharyngeal gland, and palatine glands
submandibular glands innervate
sublingual salivary and submandibular salivary
CN 8 function
SPECIAL SENSORY
Vesitubulocochlear
vestibular -> balance
cochlear -> hearing
CN 8 exits via
internal acoustic meatus
