Intro To Cranial Nerves Flashcards
(21 cards)
SSA
Special somatic afforestation for vision, hearing and balance
SVE
Motor to skeletal muscle that develops from pharyngeal arches
SVA
Special visceral afferent for olfaction and taste
Sympathetic nerve fibers in cranial nerves
Not all branches of cranial n have post ganglionic sympathetic (GVE) fibers, they have cell bodies in superior cervical sympathetic ganglion.
Distributed via peri arterial plexuses around internal and external carotid a.
Parasympathetic nerve fibers of cranial nerves
GVE
only originate in CN III, VII, IX, and X
CN numonics
Oh oh oh to touch and feel vintage green velvet simply heaven
How CN are numbered
According to the rostral caudal paterning of when they pierce the dura mater
Olfactory nerve
Sense of smell
Contains SVA that arise from mucosa of nasl cavity pierce the cribriform plate reach the olf bulb
Optic nerve
Fnxn in vision
Contain SSA formed by axons of ganglia cells of nervous retina which converge at the optic disc
CN III, IV, VI
oculomotor, trochlear, abducent
Inter ate the extra ocular muscles
Contain GSE fibers
Trigeminal n
Main sensory inervation of the face
Innervation of muscles of mastication and other muscles that develope from 1st phar arch.
Trigeminal ganglion
Where three divisions of the sensory part of the trigeminal nerve branch, they have they’re cell bodies here
Nerve fibers are GSA
Ophthalmic nerve
First branch of trigeminal nerv, sensory n of orbit, forehead and dorsum of the nose
Maxillary nerve
Sensory nerve of the middle face
Also sends GSA fibers to oral and nasal cav.
Mandibular division of the trigeminal n
Inervates muscles of the first phar. arch SVE
GSA to the lower 1/3 of the face and temple
Facial nerve
Innervation muscles of facial expression
Pregang. Parasympathetic fibers (GVE) to lacrimal, submandibular, and sublingual glands
Carries taste from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue
Vestibulocochlear nerve
Carries SSA fibers from the inner ear to the brain
Has vestibular and cochlear parts
Glossopharyngeal n
Carries tast and sensation from the posterior 1/3 of tongue and oropharynx
Carries pregang parasympathetic fibers to the parotid gland
Provides GVA to carotid sinus and body
Vagus nerve
Innervation muscles of the soft palate pharynx and larynx
Provides taste of root of tongue and epiglottis
Provides general sensation to the phar and lar
Accessory nerve
Innervates SCM and trapezius GSE fibers
Hypoglossal nerve
Sends GSE fibers to Innervate extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue
