  • primarily ispilateral
21
Q

In the brainstem which motor nuclei sit medial to lateral?

A

Somatic most medial (except ed-west medial between III)
Broncomotor latearl to somatic
Visceral motor latearl to bronchomotor (except ed-west)

22
Q

What branch of trigeminal nerve has brainstem nuclei control of motor function?

A

V3 manidbular branch
-small branchial motor divison

Controls:
jaw closers, openers for massication
middle ear to decrease chew sounds

23
Q

Where is the CB for the trigeminal nerve

A

trigeminal motor nucleus

24
Q

What is the ONLY branchial motor muscle with muscle spinlde

A

Jaw closers!

proprioceptive control for jaw stretch reflex

25
Q

Where is the CB for the jaw closer stretch reflex of trigeminal?

A

trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus

26
Q

What is the blood supply to the trigeminal motor nucleus

A

basilar and AICA

27
Q

What is the main branch primary function of the facial nerve (VII)?

A

controlling facial expression

  • lesser branches to jaw openers, middle ear, etc.
  • muscles are derived from bronchiol arches and anchored to bone/fascia of the skin
28
Q

Where are the motor neurons for the facial nerve?

A

facial nucleus in caudal pons

29
Q

What do the motor neurons of the facial nucleus do in the caudal pons?

A

loop around the abducens nucleus

30
Q

What are the 5 branches of regional control for facial motor

A
  1. temporal
  2. zygomatic
  3. buccal
  4. mandiublar
  5. cervical
31
Q

What is the path of the eye blink reflex?

A

temporal/zygomatic branches of facial control used!!

free nerve ending from trigeminal innvervation of cornea-> trigeminal tanglia -> spinal trigeminal tract -> caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus
reflex part goes up to facial nucleus- out to blink obicularis oculi
