Q

What are the 4 classes of spinal nerves? What do they do?

A
  1. General somatic afferents – general sensation
  2. General visceral afferents – visceral sensation
  3. General visceral efferents – Visceral structures
  4. General somatic Efferents – Skeletal muscles
2
Q

What are the 3 extra classes of special cranial nerves? What do they do?

A
  1. Special visceral efferents – muscles derived from pharyngeal arches (CNV, VII, IX, X)
  2. Special somatic afferents – equilibration, hearing, and sight
  3. Special visceral afferents – taste

Q

Where does the sympathetic innervation of the H&N come from? Where is this found?

A

Sympathetic Trunk

  • Anterolateral to the vertebral column
  • Lying on the prevertebral fascia and muscles
  • Deep to the carotid sheath
9
Q

What are the 3 cervical sympathetic ganglia? What are they known as after synapsing? Where do they travel?

A

Superior, middle and inferior

After synapsing, known as internal and external carotid nerves. Travel alongside BVs to target tissues.

10
Q

What 3 structures does the superior cervical ganglion supply?

A

The Pharyngeal Plexus
The Upper 4 Cervical Nerves
Cardiac Branch to the Cardiac Plexus

11
Q

What 2 structures does the middle cervical ganglion supply?

A

The 5th and 6th Cervical Nerves
Cardiac Branch to the Cardiac Plexus

12
Q

What 2 structures does the inferior cervical ganglion supply?

A

The 7th and 8th Cervical Nerves
Cardiac Branch to the Cardiac Plexus

13
Q

What are the 4 pairs of parasympathetic ganglia in the head?

A

Ciliary Ganglion
Pterygopalatine Ganglion
Submandibular Ganglion
Otic Ganglion

14
Q

What are the 4 cranial nerves that have brainstem nuclei?

A

Oculomotor (CN III)
Facial (CN VII)
Glossopharyngeal (CN IX)
Vagus (CN X)

15

a) oculomotor
b) facial
c) glossopharyngeal

A

a) ciliary ganglion
b) pterygopalatine / submandibular ganglion
c) Otic ganglion

16
Q

Where does the ciliary ganglion lie?

A

Orbital cavity

17
Q

Where does the pterygopalatine ganglion lie? What PS structures and Sympathetic structures does it control?

A

Lies in pterygopalatine fossa

PS - Lacrimal glands, glands of nose, palate and nasopharynx

Sympathetic - Superior cervical ganglion

18
Q

What PS and Sym structures does the ciliary ganglion supply?

A

PS - Sphincter papillae, ciliary muscles

19

What sym and PS strctures does the Otic ganglion supply?

A

PS - parotid

Sym - Parotid gland

21
Q

What causes Horner’s Syndrome? How does it manifest?

A

Interruption of a cervical sympathetic trunk

Features on ipsilateral side of head:

  • Miosis - constriction of pupil
  • Ptosis
  • Vasodilation - Redness and increased temp of skin
  • Anhydrosis - Absence of sweating.
