Exam 2 Flashcards
The origin for the first cranial nerve is…
from the nerve cell bodies are in the olfactory epithelium (olfactory cells)
Olfactory nerve is…
the first cranial nerve, special sensory for smell (special visceralafferent)
Cranial exit of the 1st CR N.
cribriform plate of ethmoid
The lateral olfactory stria terminates…
pririform cortex of the anterior part of temporal lobe of cerebrum
The medial olfactory stria terminates…
through the anterior commissure
The optic nerve is…
second cranial nerve, special sensory for vision (special somatic afferent)
The origin for the optic nerve
the axons of the ganglion
Cranial exit of the optic nerve
Optic canal
Most fibers of the optic nerve terminates..
in the lateral geniculate bodies of the thalamus
Which nerves control the eye muscles?
Nerves 3, 4, & 6
Oculomotor nerve is
third cranial nerve, motor nerve of the eye, somatic motor
The origin of the oculomotor nerve is
at the level of superior colliculus
also from the accessory nucleus (Edinger Westphal)
Cranial exit of the oculomotor nerve
Superior orbital fissure
Oculomotor nerve inferior division (the nerve to inferior oblique)
carries presynaptic parasympathetic (visceral efferent) fibers to the ciliary ganglion
Torchlear nerve is
the fourth cranial nerve, motor nerve of the eye, somatic motor (general somatic efferen
Origin of the Torchlear N
at the level of inferior colliculus
Cranial exit for the Torchlear N
through superior orbital fissure
Exits dorsal aspect of brain
Termination of the Torchlear N
superior oblique muscle of the eye
Trigeminal N is
the fifth cranial nerve and the largest of all the cranial nerve
Origin of the Trigeminal N
four nuclei, motor nucleus of trigeminal nerve and three sensory nuclei, mesencephalic nucleus, spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve
Trigeminal N exits
lateral aspect of the pons
composed mainly of the central processes of the pseudounipolar neurons that make up the trigeminal ganglion
Trigeminal N splits into three nerves
Opthalmic nerve, maxillary nerve, and mandibular nerve
Opthalmic nerve
Somatic (general) sensory
Origin of the opthalmic nerve
Nerve cell bodies in Trigeminal nerve
Cranial exit for opthalmic nerve is
Superior orbital fissure
Branches if the opthalmic nerve
Frontal nerve, lacrimal nerve, nasociliary nerve.
