Features of Olfactory Nerve |
Dendrites in mucosa over superior nasal conchae and nasal septum Axons are chemoreceptors that connect to olfactory areas in cerebral cortex |
|
Optic nerve is a... |
Sensory nerve |
|
Features of Optic Nerve |
Conducts impulses from photoreceptors in retina to the occipital lobes |
|
Optic nerve goes through |
Optic foramen of sphenoid and forms the optic chiasm just above the pituitary gland |
|
Nerve fibers in the Optic nerve |
Medial half of each retina cross to the opposite, responsible for peripheral |
|
Nerve fibers of lateral half |
Remain on their sides |
|
Meninges in Optic Nerve |
They travel along the optic nerve which connects to the subarachnoid space
Under greater pressure leads to papilledema |
|
How are papilledema observed |
By funduscopic examination |
|
Occulomotor is |
A motor nerve that originates in the mesencephalon and passes to eye by superior orbital fissure |
|
What does Occulomotor do |
Extrinsic: moves the eye Instrinsic: Constricts pupil, helps focus the lens |
|
Pressure on the Occulomotor |
Can lead to palsy on the same side of the injury |
|
Trochlear nerve is |
Both motor and sensory Originates in Mesencephalon and passes through superior orbital fissure |
|
Branches of Trigeminal nerve |
Opthalmic - exits through superior orbital fissure Maxillary - exits through Foramen Rotundum Mandibular - exits through foramen ovale |
|
Photic Sneeze Reflex |
Close interatction between Optic nerve and Maxillary branch, leading to sneezing when exposed to light |
|
Motor functions of the Trigeminal |
Innervates Masseter, Temporalis, Medial/Lateral Pterygoids |
|
Trochlear Nerve... |
Controls downward and lateral movement |
|
Bitemporal Hemianopia |
Temporal or peripheral field of vision gone Caused by pressure on optic chiasm |
|
Hypophysectomy |
Surgical removal of pituitary gland Done to treat advanced breast and prostate cancer in past Today for tumors in pituitary gland, these cause changes in vision |
|
VI Abducens |
Motor nerve, originates in pons, through superior orbital fissure Moves eye laterally |
|
VII Facial Nerve |
Both sensory and motor Origin in Pons |
|
Motor function of Facial Nerve |
Innervate facial Expression and stimulate salivary glands |
|
Salivary glands that the Facial Nerve stimulates |
Sublingual and submandibular |
|
Sensory function of Facial Nerve |
Impulses of taste from anterior 2/3 of the tongue and convey to gustatory areas |
|
Which nerve feels sensation in the face? |
Trigeminal V |
|
VIII Vestibulocochlear Nerve |
Purely Sensory Vestibular Branch - Balance and Equilibrium, info to cerebellum Cochlear Branch - Hearing, info to cerebral cortex and temporal lobe |
|
IX Glossopharyngeal |
Both Sense and Motor Innervates poster 1/3 of tongue and muscle in throat |
|
Motor fibers of Glossopharyngeal |
Origin: medulla oblongata, through jugular foramen Stimulate swallowing refelx adn secretion of saliva |
|
Parotid Canal |
Secretes saliva in the CN IX Glossopharyngeal |
|
Sensory Fibers of CN IX |
Chemoreceptors on back of tongue and sensors in carotid sinus Enter cranium through jugular foramen Go to Pons and taste area |
|
X Vagus Nerve |
Both sense and motor Origin: medulla oblongata, through jugular foramen Longest of cranial nerves and leaves the head and neck Innervates visceral organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities |
|
Motor of CN X |
Innervates pharynx (throat) and larynx (voice box) Damage can lead to difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, monotone, or mutism |
|
Sensory of CN X |
External Auditory canal and eardrum Pharynx Larynx Heart Lungs Esophagus Abdominal Organs |
|
XI Accessory |
Motor Nerve from medulla oblongata and spinal cord Goes through foramen magnum, joins medulla oblongata, leaves through jugular |
|
Roots of CN XI |
Cranial Root - Pharynx (gulp) Spinal Root - Innervates Trapezius and sternocleiodmastoids (shrug) |
|
XII Hypoglossal |
Motor from Medulla Oblongata, exits through a canal in the skull Travels to mandible and inferior surface of tongue Innervates tongue Damage - difficulty in speech and swallowing |
|
What type of nerve is Olfactory |
Sensory |
