Term
CNs: IX, X, XII
Definition
Any nerves that lie in close proximity to the internal carotid artery could be affected. The most commonly affected are ? (Name 3)
Term
Genioglossus (invervated by XII)
Definition
Which extrinsic tongue muscles unlike the others does NOT receive bilateral innervation which is important clinically and which CN innervates it.
Term
inactive/weak side
Definition
When the genioglossi muscles contract together the tongue sticks straight out so if one of the genioglossus muscles is weak or paralyzed then the tonque will deviate toward the (?active/intact or inactive/weak) side.
Term
opposite
Definition
In an UMNL, the tongue would deviate to the (?same or opposite?) side of the lesion.
Term
same
Definition
In an LMNL, the tongue would deviate to the (?same or opposite?) side of the lesion.
Term
upper motor neurons
Definition
During protrusion of the tongue if the lesion involves (?upper or lower?) motor neurons the tongue will deviate to the contralateral side
Term
lower
Definition
During protrusion of the tongue if the lesion involves (?upper or lower?) motor neurons the tongue will deviate to the ipsilateral side
Term
CN XII
Definition
This CN lies between the internal carotid artery and the internal jugular vein and deep to the posterior belly of the digastric muscle.
Term
palatoglossus muscle/ CN X
Definition
All of the extrinsic muscles of the tongue are supplied by CN XII except for ? which is supplied by CN ?
Term
ipsilateral
Definition
CN XI demonstrates (?ipsilateral or contralateral?) innervation to LMNs innervating the SCM muscle.
Term
contralateral
Definition
CN XI demonstrates (?ipsilateral or contralateral?) innervation to LMNs innervating the upper fibers of the trapezius muscle.
Term
ipsilaterally
Definition
In a LMNL their would be weakness of the SCM and upper traps (?ipsilaterally or contralaterally?)
Term
contralaterally
Definition
In an UMNL their would be weakness of the SCM and upper traps (?ipsilaterally or contralaterally?)
Term
CN IV (Trochlear)
Definition
Name the smallest of the cranial nerves.
Term
Superior Oblique
Definition
Name the 1 muscle innervated by CN IV.
Term
Somatic Motor
Definition
Name the component of CN IV.
Term
posterior cerebral and superior cerebellar
Definition
CN IV passes between what 2 arteries.
Term
CN III, IV, V1, V2 and VI
Definition
Name the cranial nerves that enter the cavernous sinus.
Term
Superior Oblique (CN IV)
Definition
Name the muscle (and the cranial nerve that innervates this muscle) that turns the eye down and out and medially rotates the eyeball
Term
CN IV
Definition
This CN is the only nerve whose cell bodies entirely originate from the contralateral nucleus.
Term
CN IV
Definition
Name the only CN to emerge on the dorsal surface of the brainstem.
Term
CN VI
Definition
The function of this CN is to move the eye laterally away from the midline.
Term
Somatic motor
Definition
CN VI has only a ? component.
Term
pons/lateral rectus
Definition
CN VI can be damaged anywhere along its course from its nucleus in the ? to its target muscle the ?
Term
VI
Definition
Name the most frequently lesioned cranial nerve
Term
Medial Strabismus/VI
Definition
Medical term used to describe unopposed medial rectus muscle that occurs when there is damage to CN ?
Term
CN IX
Definition
Name the CN whose visceral sensory component is for subconscious sensations from the carotid body (chemoreceptors) and the carotid sinus (baroreceptors)
Term
parotid gland
Definition
CN IX provides a parasympathetic motor component to the ? and the carotid body and sinus.
Term
Superior and Inferior Glossopharyngeal ganglia
Definition
Name the 2 ganglia situated on CN IX.
Term
elevate the pharynx during swallowing and speech/CN IX
Definition
What is the function of the stylopharyngeus muscle and what CN innervates it.
Term
IX
Definition
No gag reflex means there is a lesion of CN ?
Term
IX/X
Definition
The gag reflex involves both CN ? being the sensory input and CN ? carrying the motor components.
Term
Superior (jugular) and Inferior (Nodosum)
Definition
Name the 2 sensory ganglia located on CN X.
Term
unaffected side (due to unopposed action of pharyngeal constrictors)
Definition
Unilateral lesion of CN X causes deviation of the uvula and soft palate to the (?affected or unaffected?) side.
Term
UMNL/due to bilateral corticobulbar innervation of nucleus ambiguus
Definition
Minimal symptoms are seen in a (?LMNL or UMNL?) of CN X and why
Term
internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein.
Definition
In the neck, the vagus nerve lies posterior to and in a groove between this artery and vein. (name them)
Term
LMNL/CN X
Definition
Hoarseness and difficulty swallowing would be seen in a (?UMNL or LMNL?) of CN ?
Term
LMNL/CNX
Definition
Deviation of the uvula and soft palate to the unaffectd side due to unopposed action of the pharyngeal constrictors is a (?UMNL or LMNL?) in CN ?
Term
CN X
Definition
Stimulation of the visceral motor function of CN ? results in decreased HR, bronchoconstriction and increased peristalsis
Term
CN X
Definition
CN ? provides general sensation from skin of external ear, external auditory canal, external surface of tympanic membrane, larynx, pharynx and meninges of posterior cranial fossa.
Term
pons of the brain
Definition
If the abducens nerve and the facial nerve are not functioning, this would suggest a lesion in the ?
Term
internal acoustic meatus
Definition
If CN VIII and CN VII are not functioning this suggests a lesion in the ?
Term
smell
Definition
Food flavors depend on the sense of smell or taste?
Term
Unilateral
Definition
(?Unilateral or Bilateral?) anosmia can result from disease affecting the olfactory nerves, bulb or tract.
