Visceral sensation

20
Q

What’s it eh motor function of th vagus

A

Soft palate, larynx, pharynx upper oes

Allowing speech and swallowing

21
Q

What’s the parasympathetic contribution of the vagus

A

Control of cardio, RESP and GI systems

22
Q

What does accessory nerve do

A

Motor innervation to the scm and trapezius allowing movements of the head and neck

23
Q

What does the hypoglossal nerve do

A

Motor innervation to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue Exceot palatoglosses which is innervated by vagus

24
Q

Where do the nerves originate

A
1,2 --> brain 
3,4 --> midbrain
5 --> pons 
6,7,8 --> junction between pons and medulla
9,10,12 --> medulla 
11 --> spinal cord

Su maxillary
Otic

27
Q

What does the ciliary ganglion innervate

A

Sphincter pupillae which contracts the pupil

Ciliary muscles accommodating near vision

28
Q

What does the pterygopalatine ganglion innervate

A

Secretomotor to lacrimal gland
Mucous gland of posterosuoeriorly nasal cav
Nasopharynx
Palate

29
Q

What does the submandibular ganglion supply

A

Secretomotor innervation to submandibular and sublingual glands

30
Q

What does the otic ganglion supply

A

Innervation tot he parotid gland

31
Q

Where si the otic ganglion situated

A

Under foramen ovale

32
Q

How does the olfactory nerve leave the cranial cavity

A

Crubiform plate

33
Q

How does the optic nerve leave cranial cav

A

Optic canal

Optic chiasm cross over of sight to visual cortex

34
Q

How does the oculomotor nerve leave the carnival cav

A

Pierces dura mater
Through cavernous sinus (gets parasymp from Ica in cav sinus)
Superior orbital fissure

35
Q

What si the course of the trochlear nerve to leave the cranial cav ee

A

Subarachnoid space
Wall of cav sinus
Superior orbital fissure

36
Q

What is the purse for the trigeminal nerve leaving the cranial cavity

A
Pons 
Middle cranial fossA
Opthalmic - sup orbital fissure 
Maxillary - foramen rotundum 
Mandibular with motor root - foramen ovale
37
Q

Who does the abducens leave the cranial cav

A
Pons 
Subarachnoid space
Dura mater
Through cav sinus 
Superior orbital fissure
38
Q

How does the facial nerve exit the cranial cav

A

pons motor and sensory root, IAM stylomastoid foramen

39
Q

What are the branches of the facial nerve
Intracranial
Extra cranial

A

Intracranial

  • iam –> geniculate ganglion which branches to greater petrosal, nerve to stapedius and chorda tympani
  • stylomastoid formen

Extra cranial

  • posterior auricular branch
  • motor root terminating in parotid gland
40
Q

What si the course of the Vestibulochoclear nerve

A

Vestibular and cochlear fibres aggregate and exit via iam

41
Q

What si the course of the Glossopharyngeal nerve

A

Leaves cranium via jugular foramen
Tympanic nerve arises with sensory and parasymp
You panic plexus –> to otic ganglion

42
Q

What si the course of the vagus nerve

A

Via jugular foramen

Auricular branch

43
Q

What are the branches that arise form the vagus nerve and what do they supply

A

Pharyngeal branches - motor innervation to most of pharynx and soft palate

Sup laryngeal nerve - internal (sensory to laryngopharynx and sup larynx) and external ( Cricothyroid)

Recurrent laryngeal nerve - only on right side, hooks under aorta inv intrinsic most larynx

44
Q

What si the course of the accessory nerve

A

Spinal part - enter cranial cav via formen magnum, meet cranial part and out via jugular foremen

Cranial part - medulla, meet Spinla part out via jugular formen

45
Q

What’s si the course of the hypoglossal nerve

A

Out via hypoglossal canal

Association with Ansa cervicalis

46
Q

What sit he Ansa cervicalis

A

Contribution form branch of hypoglossal

Partly cervical plexus C1,2,3

Inv depressors of hyoid - stereo hyoid, omohyoid, sterenothyroid
