Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

Parasympathetic pathway of the parotid gland:After passing through the _____ foramen, the tympanic nerve reaches the tympanic plexus and onwards to the lesser petrosal nerve

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

Course of 3rd Nerve:2: Passes to the _____ cranial fossa along the lateral dural wall of the cavernous sinus and divides into superior and inferior in its anterior part

_____ is the cranial continuation of the posterior longitudinal ligament.

The _____ refers to the proximal part of the axon, that lies just beyond the axon-hillock.

The subarachnoid space ends at the _____ border of the S2 vertebra.

_____ nucleus of vagus contains neurons from the GVE column and it sends parasympathetic fibers to the glands and smooth muscles in the pharynx, larynx, thoracic and abdominal viscera.

Lesions to CN _____ result in deviation of the jaw toward the side of the lesion

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