Q

Zonule Fibers

A

Suspsensory fibers of the lens, tension due to introcular eye pressure

25
Q

Ciliary Muscle. Distal sigh passive or activ?

A

contraction decreases the circumference of the muslce creating SLACK int eh zonule fibers allowing the lens to thicken by elastic rebound

Distal site- flattened lens –> PASSIVE

Near site- curved lens –> active

26
Q

Describe pathway of Preganglionic Parasympathetic neuron

A

Edinger-Westphal nuclues –> Oculomotor nerve –> through superior orbital fissure –> synapse at ciliary ganglion –> postganglionic Parasympathetic fibers = short ciliary nerves –> 1) sphincter pupillae, 2) Ciliary muslce, 3) Ciliary processes (aqueous humor)

27
Q

Describe pathway of Lower motor neurons for extraocular eye muscles

A
Lower motor nuerons --> pass oculomotor nerve --> pass Superior orbital fissure --> Motor fibers to
1.Levator Palebraie superiorir muslce
Superior rectus m.
Medial Rectus m.
Inferior Rectus m
Inferior Oblique m.
28
Q

pathway for Sympathetic

A

Preganglionic Sympathetic from T1-T3 –> synapse at Superior cerical ganglion –> postganglionic sympahtetic fibers course in teh adventittia of the carotid artery and its branches –> short ciliary nerves –> dilator pupillae muslce and vessels / Superior and inferior tarsal mm and vessels

29
Q

What other cranial nerves are tested with CN III?

A

CN III, IV, VI

requires hed to be fixed to prevent head movment

Patietn is confornted and aksed to follow finger movments which tets mucuslar funciton of the extraocular eye muscles and thus somatic motor fibers contained in CN III as well as CN IV and CN VI

30
Q

Where does CN VII enter frove?

A

petrous bone via internal acoustic meatus

31
Q

What is the Geniculate Ganglion?

A

Psuedounipoloar neurons = primary sensory neurons of the facial nerve

32
Q

Greater PEtrosal Nerve

A

preganglionic parasympathric neurons- preganglionic fibers will synapse in pterygopalatine ganglion

33
Q

Deep Petrosal Nerve

A

Postganglionic sympathetic fibers from superior cervical ganglion being conveyed by internal carotid artery

34
Q

Nerve of pterygoid Canal

A

combined greater and deep petrosial neves- deep poterosal fibers will pass thorugh ptergypalatine ganglion but not synapse

35
Q

What is the nervus intermedius?

A

Sensory root of Fa ial Nerve CN VII

36
Q

How do you test Motor fucntino of CN VII (Facial)

A

have patient wrinke forehead, smile, show teeth and whistle

37
Q

what will happen witha persion who has a pERIPHERAL lesion of the PRIMARY root

A

result in an ENTIRE paralysis of PARESIS of one-half of IPSILATERAL face-

38
Q

What will happen if there is a CENTRAL LESION of CN VII

Q

Bell’s Palsy

A

When total paralysis on 1/2 of face; PERIPHERAL PARALYSIS- total invovlement of ipsilateral half of face

42
Q

How do you test SENSORY portion of CN VII

A

CORNEAL REFLEX- wisp of cotton touched to ipsilateral cornea should elicit a corneal reflex and both eyes should shut- damage to CN VII is a loss of efferent limb of reflex

TASTE- is tested using salt, sugar and bitter solutions applied to sides of tongue protruded from mouth–taste to be before tongue

43
