Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

The _____ nerve (L1-L2) provides:- sensory innervation to the scrotum/labia majora and upper anterior thigh - motor innervation to the cremaster

The _____ fields send axons that decussate and synapse on neurons of the contralateral paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF)

CN _____ provides parasympathetic innervation to the submandibular and sublingual glands for salivation bonus: which branch?

The bony cochlea is a coiled tube making _____ turns round a central pyramid of bone called modiolus.

Post-ganglionic sympathetic and Pre-ganglionic parasympathetic neurons supplying the GI tract synapse in the _____ or submucosal plexuses

_____ Somatic Efferent innervates the extrinsic ocular muscles and muscles of the tongue.

Hint: G/S

Lesions to CN _____ result in weakness turning the head to the contra-lateral side of the lesion

The sympathetic fibers of the superior cervical ganglion travel in the _____ artery and cavernous sinus en route to the orbit

The _____ fibers are axons of the second-order neurons from nucleus gracilis and nucleus cuneatus.

The _____ branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) is called Jacobson's nerve.
