Cranial nerves

?

Largest cranial nerve ? trigeminal

?

Longest cranial nerve ? vagus

?

m/c paralyzed ? facial nerve

?

m/c involved in intracranial lesions- abducent

?

Longest ? Intracanalicular course- facial

?

Dorsal aspect of brain- trochlear - most slender

?

Only motor branch of 9th cranial nerve ?
Stylopharyngeus

?

True peripheral n except- optic tract

?

Monosynaptic reflex in brain ? jaw jerk/masseteric
reflex

Location of cranial nerves

?Anterior cranial fossa: C.N. 1?2

?Middle cranial fossa: C.N. 3-6

?Posterior cranial fossa: C.N. 7-12

Sensory nerve
?Olfactory (1)

?Optic (2)

?Vestibulocochlear (8)
Motor nerve
?Oculomotor (3)

?Trochlear (4)

?Abducens (6)

?Accessory (11)

?Hypoglossal (12)

Mixed nerves
?Trigeminal (5)

?Facial (7)

?Glossopharyngeal (9)

?Vagus (10)

Innervation of Branchial arch
muscles ?Mixed nerves

?1 - Trigeminal

?2 - Facial

?3 - Glossopharyngeal

?4 ? Vagus - SLN

?5 ? Regresses

?6 ? Vagus - RLN

Cranial Nerve VII: Facial

? Fibers leave lower pons,
? travel through internal acoustic meatus,
? emerge through stylomastoid foramen
? to lateral aspect of face
? Pass through Parotid gland
? Mixed nerve with five major branches
? Motor functions include facial expression,
? autonomic impulses to lacrimal & salivary glands
? Sensory function is taste from anterior two-thirds of

tongue ? Chorda tympani n


Cranial Nerve VII: Facial

Table 13.2(VII)

Facial colliculus


1. Motor nucleus of facial nerve (facial nucleus)

2nd branchial arch muscles muscles of facial
expression .

2. Superior salivatory nucleus - To chorda tympani

branch joins lingual branch of Lingual n -V3 - in
Infratemporal fossa submandibular ganglion
submandibular, sublingual & acc lingual glands

3. Lacrimal nucleus - greater petrosal branch +

deep petrosal n - pterygopalatine ganglion
Lacrimal glands & paranasal sinuses

1. Geniculate ganglion

Central processes nervus intermedius

Peripheral processes chorda tympani, greater petrosal and

deep petrosal nn vidian nerve Pterygopalatine ganglion.

(some fibers join the auricular branch of the vagus)

2. Gustatory nucleus - nucleus of tractus solitarius

3. Nucleus of spinal trigeminal tract - From nervus

intermedius


Taste

Taste sensations

? Facial N.

? Glossopharyngeal N.

? Vagus N.

? Nucleus tractus solitarious

Parasympathetic ganglion

Ciliary ganglion

Pterygopalatine ganglion

Submandibular ganglion

Otic ganglion



Facial palsy-S.N.Palsy.

? CVA-internal capsule - HT
? Cortico nuclear- cortico - bulbar fibers are

involved

? Loss of movement of lower half of face on

opposite side of lesion

? Upper half of face escapes b/of bilateral

representation in cortex

? NUCLEAR PALSY-LMN type of palsy of same

side upper & lower half with ipsilateral 6th
nerve palsy ie internal squint? LR6

Facial nerve palsy

Millard Gubler syndrome - contralateral

hemiplegia & ipsilateral facial palsy b/of
pontine lesion- affects pyramidal tract &
facial nucleus.

Infra nuclear palsy - bells palsy - LMN Palsy -

same side complete face paralysis.

Internal acoustic meatus- LMN Palsy &

deafness-8th cr n.

Lesion at genu ? geniculate ganglion -

diminished lacrimation
