Auriculotemporal nerve (posterior divison of V3)
|
|
The lesser petrosal nerve carries (parasympathetic, sympathetic, both, neither)
|
Both (remember the sympathetics it gets from the tympanic plexus on the promontory)
|
|
Where are the preganglionic parasympathetic cell bodies for cranial nerve 7?
|
superior salivatory nucleus
|
|
The parasympathetics of CN 7 leave the brainstem in what nerve?
|
intermediate nerve
|
|
What is the path for the preganglionic parasympathetics to the lacrimal gland?
|
superior salivatory nucleus > intermediate nerve > facial nerve > greater petrosal > nerve to the pterygopalatine canal > pterygopalatine ganglion > hitch-hike CN V2 then CN V1 then lacrimal nerve > lacrimal gland
|
|
What is the path for the preganglionic parasympathetics to the sublingual and submandibular glands?
|
superior salivatory nucleus > intermediate nerve > facial nerve > chorda tympani > Lingual taxi > submandibular ganglion > Lingual taxi >glands
|
|
Chorda tympani contains (GVE, SVA, both, neither)?
|
Both (SVA from anterior 2/3 of tongue)
|
|
ipsilateral impairment of lacrimation AND salivation can be due to a lesion (proximal or distal ) to the geniculate ganglion of VII?
|
Proximal
|
|
What impairment will result for a lesion of VII distal to the geniculate ganglion?
|
Impairment of salivation but persistance of lacrimation
|
|
The deep petrosal nerve donates what kinds of fibers to the greater petrosal to form the nerve of the pterygoid canal?
|
Postganglionic sympathetics
|
|
Where are the preganglionic parasympathetic cell bodies located for CN III?
|
Edinger-Westphal (GVE nucleus in the midbrain)
|
|
What is the pathway for parasympathetic innervation of the ciliary muscles?
|
Edinger-Westphal > CN 3 > inferior ramus of CN 3 > ciliary ganglion > short ciliary nerve > muscle
|
|
Loss of pupillary light reflex and accomodation, or a fully dilated pupil can be a sign of damage to which nerve?
|
ipsilateral CN 3
|
|
Where are the preganglionic sympathetic cell bodies for innervation of the head located?
|
intermediolateral cell column of T1 - T4
|
|
Where are the postganglionic cell bodies found for sympathetic innervation of the head?
|
superior cervical ganglion
|
|
What are the postganglionic sympathetic nerves of the head?
|
internal and external carotid nerves (sympathetic plexus around these two arteries)
|
|
What are the effector tissues for sympathetics of the head?
|
glands and smooth muscle of blood vessels
|
|
Postganglionic cell bodies for segmental sympathetic innervation of sweat glands and smooth muscles of the head are located where?
|
superior, middle, and inferior cervical ganglion
|
|
What are the dermatome levels assosicated with the superior, middle, and inferior cervical ganglion?
|
C1-C4 (superior), C5-C6 (middle), C7-C8 (inferior)
|
|
Sympathetics leaving the internal carotid plexus and then going to the superior ramus of CN III are going to what muscle?
|
Levator palpebrae smooth muscle
|
|
What is the path that postganglionic sympathetics take from the internal carotid plexus to the Dilator pupillae muscles?
|
internal carotid plexus > opthalmic artery plexus > nasociliary nerve > long ciliary nerve
|
|
What is the smooth muscle portion of the levator palpebrae called?
|
Superior tarsal muscle
|
|
What are the effector tissues for sympathetic innervation of the eye/orbit?
|
dilator pupillae of the iris, superior tarsal muscle
|
|
What are the clinical signs and symptomps of Horners?
|
pseudoptosis, redness, enophthalmos, miosis, dryness
|
|
Which symptom of horners is sinking of the eyball into the orbit?
|
Enophthalmos
|
|
What can you lesion to produce ipsilateral horners syndrome?
|
descending autonomics, intermediolateral cell columns of T1-T4, T1-T4 ventral roots, T1-T4 spinal nerves, cervical sympathetic trunk, superior cervical ganglion
