26
pathway of CNVII
starts at junction of pons and medulla, laterally in post cranial fossa with CN8, through internal acoustic meatus, through facial canal, 3 branch off (Golly Polly..), remainder of facial nerve proper goes through stylomastoid foramen, then parotid gland to form parotid plexus
27
3 branches of CN7 before stylomastoid foramen
greater petrosal, nerve to stapedius, chorda tympani
28
GSA of CN7
senses skin of ear, external acoustic meatus, through geniculate to the trigeminal sensory nucleus on pons/midbrain
29
GVA of CN7
pain receptors of nasopharynx, through geniculate to solitary nucleus
30
SVA of CN7
taste of ant 2/3 of tongue, through geniculate to solitary nucleus
31
GVE of CN7 from pterygopalatine parasympathetic gang
(pre gang) sup salivatory nucleus to geniculate, then greater petrosal which joins with the deep petrosal (sympathetic) and sensory fibers to form vidian nerve, through the pterygopalatine ganglion, (post gang) fibers hitch hike onto zygomatic n of v2, communicating branch, then lacrimal n
32
GVE of CN7 from submandibular parasympathetic gang
(pregang) sup salivatory nucleus through internal acoustic meatus, chorda tympani across tympanic membrane, through petrotympanic fissure, hitch hikes on v3, submandibular gang, (post symp) hitch hikes on lingual n of v3 to submand and subling glands (and SVA - ant 2/3 taste)
33
branches of facial nerve proper
``` "PaDS" post auricular n nerve to post digastric nerve to stylohyoid "To Zanzibar By Motor Car" temporal n. zygomatic n. buccal n. mandibular n. cervical n. ```
34
when does the facial nerve proper give off its terminal branches
after the stylomastoid foramen
35

branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve that contains sensory and pregang parasymp fibers to the tympanic plexus
tympanic nerve
48
what does the tympanic plexus innervate?
sensory and sympathetics to the middle ear, pharyngotympanic tube, and mastoid air cells
49
lesser petrosal n is a branch of the
tympanic nerve/plexus
50
what is the pathway of the lesser petrosal and what does it innervate?
(pregang parasymp) branch from the tympanic plexus, through the foramen ovale, otic ganglion, (postgang parasymp) to the parotid gland by hitch hiking on V3, auriculotemporal n.
51
other branches of the glosspharyngeal
pharyngeal, stylopharyngeal, nerve to carotid sinus, lingual branches, tonsillar, palatine, many communicating branches
52
pathway of CNX
medulla, through post cranial fossa, through the jugular foramen and descends down the neck through the carotid sheath, through the mediastinum, piercing the diaphragm with the esophagus, and terminates in the abdomen
53
GSA of CNX
general sensation from the skin of the external ear, starting in the superior vagal ganglion to the trigeminal sensory nucleus
54
GVA of CNX
sensory to the layngopharynx, larynx, thorax, and abdomen, starting in the inferior vagal ganglion, then travels to the solitary nucleus
55
SVA of CNX
taste to scattered fibers on the palate and epiglottis, starting in the inferior vagal ganglion, then travels to the solitary nucleus
56
GVE of CNX
innervates thoracic and abdominal viscera, starting in dorsal vagal motor nucleus, then travels to the intramural ganglion, then to thorax and abs
57
SVE of CNX
motor to muscles of palate, pharynx, and larynx starting in the nucleus ambiguus, then out to the muscles
58
