3
Q

What muscles does occulomotor nerve control?

A
  • Superior, medial and inferior rectus
  • Inferior oblique and levator palpebrae muscles
  • Parasympathetic innervation of contrictor pupillae (pupil size) and ciliary muscle (accomodation)
4
Q

What does the trochlear nerve innervation?

A
  1. Superior oblique muscle
5
Q

What does the abducens nerve innervate?

A

Lateral rectus muscle

6
Q

What does the trigeminal nerve supply?

A

Sensation to face

Motor function to muscles of mastication

7
Q

What does facial nerve innervate?

A
  • Muscles of facial expression
  • Anterior 2/3rd of tongue for taste
  • Secretomotor to submandibular and sublingual glands
8
Q

What does the glossopharngeal nerve innervation?

A
  • Sensation from pharynx and tonsils
  • Sensation and taste from posterior 1/3 of tongue
  • Innervates stylopharngeus muscles
9
Q

What does vagus nerve innervate?

A

Sensation and innervat4es paletine, pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles

10
Q

A

Upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles

11
Q

12
Q

What eye muscles do the following innervate:

  • occulomottor (III)
  • trochlear (IV)
  • abducens (VI)
A
  • Occulomotor
    • Superior, medial and inferior rectus
    • Inferior oblique
    • Levator palpebrae
  • Trochlear
    • Superior oblique

13
Q

What is the difference between UMN and LMN facial nerve palsy?

A

UMN spares upper face, affects mid and lower contralateral side

LMN is complete hemiplagia of ispilateral side

14
Q

What are the different kinds of visual field defects?

A
  • Bitemproal hmianopia
    • Loss of temporal visual field in both eyes
    • Usually due to optic chiasm compression (pituitary adenoma etc)
  • Homonymous field defects
    • Affects same side of visual field in each eye
    • Usually due to stroke or tumour
  • Monocular vision loss
    • Due to optic nerve pathology, loss of vision in that eye
