Cranial Nerves 101

The Nerves are Fun

On Old Olympus’ Towering Tops ...

• Say the names of the cranial nerves backwards in less than 60 seconds.

• No,no,no. Not yrotcaflo, citpo, rotomoluco ...

• Say them starting with the hypoglossal?

Describe the brainstem exit, cranial exit and

general functions of cranial nerves

1 - 6.

Where are the olfactory receptors? What is the difference, if any between the olfactory nerve

and the olfactory tract?

Olfactory Nerve (SVA), Bulb and Tract

• Olfactory Epithelium

• Nerve and Cribiform Plate

• Olfactory Bulb

• Olfactory Tract to Piriform Cortex and Amygdala

Optic System 101

• Retina

• Optic Nerve (SSA), Chiasm, Tract

• Thalamus (Lateral

Geniculate Nucleus) and Visual Cortex

• Superior Colliculus

3,4 and 6

• Oculomotor (GSE and GVE)– The Main Mover– Parasympathetic Too

• Trochlear (GSE)– In and Down (If in, then down)– Two odd things– Trochlea of the Skull

• Abducens (GSE)– All in a name

Eyeball Kinesiology• Adduction -- Abduction

• Elevation -- Depression

• Torsion, Rotation(Medial and Lateral)

Torsional Movements

LR6SO4

• Lateral Rectus 6– Abducts

• Superior Oblique 4– Depresses and adducts

• All Others 3– Superior and Inferior

Rectus and Inferior Oblique

– “All” except abduction

Oculomotor Parasympathetic• Parasympathetic

– Pre- and Postganglionic Fibers

– Ciliary Ganglia (Motor)

• Pupillary Reflex– 2+3=Constriction– Consensual Response

• Accomodation Reflex

Describe the brainstem exit, cranial exit and

general functions of cranial nerves

7-12.

In addition to moving the face, what else does the facial nerve do? Where would a lesion have

to be to involve all of the functions of the facial nerve?

The Full Facial• SVE

– Muscles of Facial Expression

• SVA– Taste Anterior 2/3 Tongue– Geniculate Ganglia (Sensory) and

Solitary Nucleus

• GVE=Parasympathetic– Superior Salivatory Nuc– Sphenopalatine Ganglia

• Lacrimal Gland

– Submandibular Ganglia• Lingual and Submandibular Glands

• GSA?

Describe the Anatomy of the Motor Part of the Facial Nerve. Describe the effects of an LMN lesion and an UMN lesion that

affects this nerve.

Upper and Lower Face Muscles• LMN Damage

– Upper and Lower Ipsilateral Face Paralysis

• UMN Damage– Only Lower

Contralateral Face Paralysis

The Labyrinth - Vestibule, Semicircular Canals, and Cochlea

Vestibule

Semicircular Canals

Cochlea

Primary Afferent Fibers

• Hair Cell Receptors

• Cochlear Duct– Spiral Ganglia– Cochlear Nuclei– Damage = Ipsilateral Deafness

• Ampulla and Utricle (and Saccule)– Scarpa’s Ganglia– Vestibular Nuclei– Damage = Ipsilateral Imbalance

Hair Cells

Nucleus

Ganglia

Vagus Nerve• Exit

– Post Olivary Sulcus– Jugular Foramen

• Functional Components– Lower Motor Neuron _____________– Parasympathetic _____________– Visceral Sensory _____________– Taste _____________– Touch and Pain _____________

Speech and Swallowing

Thorax and Abdomen

ANS Reflexes and Larynx Sensation

Uvula and Epiglottis

External Auditory Meatus

Glossopharyngeal Nerve• Exit

– Post Olivary Sulcus– Jugular Foramen

• Functional Components– Lower Motor Neuron _____________– Parasympathetic _____________– Visceral Sensory _____________– Taste _____________– Touch and Pain _____________

“Swallowing”

Salivation - Parotid Gland

ANS Reflexes and Pharynx Sensation

Posterior 1/3 Tongue

External Ear

The Gag Reflex

• Sensory Part– Glossopharyngeal

• Motor Part– Vagus

• And Uvula Deviation

Explain the different effects of UMN and LMN lesions of the hypoglossal nerve on tongue

protrusion.

Damage to Cranial Nerve 12

• Damage to the Lower Motor Neuron– Damage to Nerve or Nucleus– Tongue Deviate Toward the Lesion

• Damage to the Upper Motor Neurons– Damage to Corticobulbar Fibers– Tongue Deviates Away from the Lesion

Hypoglossal Lower Motor Neuron Damage

• Tongue Deviates Toward the Lesion– Damage to the Nucleus– Damage to the Nerve

– Deviates to the Weak Side

Hypoglossal Upper Motor Neuron Damage

• Tongue Deviates Away from the Lesion

• Damage to Axons from the Cerebral Cortex– Motor Cortex (Lateral)– Internal Capsule– Corticobulbar Fibers

• Contralateral Termination

Upper Motor NeuronLesion

• The Contralateral Tongue cannot Push!

• Deviates to the Weak Side
