Human Anatomy Peripheral Nervous System PNS Part I
2 Components of PNS • 12 pr. of cranial nerves • 31 pr. of spinal nerves So….what is a nerve?
Structure of a Nerve • Connective tissue organized similar to muscle • Epineurium – surrounds the entire nerve
Structure of a Nerve 2. perineurium– surrounds a fascicle fascicle Fascicle – a bundle of axons perineurium
Structure of a Nerve Fascicle Perineurium
Structure of a Nerve 3. Endoneurium – surrounds each axon
Types of Nerves • Sensory – all axons in all fascicles going from periphery to spinal cord • Motor – all axons in all fascicles going from spinal cord to skeletal muscle (or other organs) • Mixed – axons within the nerve going in different directions BUT not within the same fascicles. • All axons within a single fascicle are going in only one direction
Structure of a Nerve Axons
Cranial Nerves • Found on inferior surface of brain
Cranial Nerves • Some are sensory n. • Periphery (skin or other organs) to brain • Some are motor n. • Brain to periphery (muscle or another organ) • Some are mixed n. • Both directions • All 12 pr. can be used to test various areas of the brain For instance….
The Optic Nerve A patient comes in with a vision problem
Study Hint for the Cranial Nerves • Make a table with 6 columns • The headings for the 6 columns (L to R) should be: • Number • Name • S, M, or B (B = mixed) • Function • Test • Special features
I Olfactory • Sensory • Olfaction • Bulb
I Olfactory Olfactory bulb Cribriform plate
Location of Olfactory Bulb Cribriform plates
II Optic • Sensory • Vision • Comprised of axons from rods and cones of retina
Extrinsic Eye Muscle • Six muscles that attach to eyeball and are responsible for moving (gazing) the eye within the orbit.
Extrinsic Eye Muscles • Names: • Superior rectus • Inferior rectus • Lateral rectus • Medial rectus • Superior oblique • Inferior oblique
III, IV and VI • Cranial n. III, IV and VI innervate the 6 extrinsic eye muscles • All 3 nerves are pure motor nerves • III – oculomotor • IV – trochlear • VI -- abducens
Extrinsic Eye Muscles • Which nerve innervates which muscle(s)? • LR6SO4 • Superior rectus III • Inferior rectus III • Lateral rectus VI • Medial rectus III • Superior oblique IV • Inferior oblique III
V Trigeminal • Three divisions (branches) of V: V1, V2 and V3
V Trigeminal • V1 – ophthalmic branch, purely sensory
V Trigeminal • V2 – maxillary branch, purely sensory
V Trigeminal • V3 – mandibular branch, both motor and sensory – a mixed nerve branch • Therefore, because V3 is a mixed nerve, the trigeminal nerve has to be considered a mixed cranial nerve.
V3 Trigeminal • Motor to muscles of mastication (chewing) sensory
Tic Douloureux • Sudden discharge of V2 and V3 • Causes intense pain to areas innervated by V2 and V3 • Trigeminal neuralgia • 1/25,000 and usually 40 yo and older
VII Facial • Mixed • Motor to facial muscles (5 branches) • Sensory from taste buds – anterior 2/3 of the tongue • Exits through stylomastoid foramen • Bell’s Palsey -- dysfunction of VII because of viral inflammation • Results in facial muscle paralysis on one side • Usually “cures itself” within weeks or a few months
VIII Vestibulocochlear • Semicircular canals – balance abd equilibrium • Cochlea – hearing
VIII Vestibulocochlear • Sensory • Hearing and balance • Cochlea and semicircular canals
IX Glossopharyngeal • Mixed • Motor to: • Swallowing muscles of pharynx • Parotid salivary gland (saliva producing) • Sensory from: • Taste from posterior 1/3 of tongue • Lining of pharynx • Soft palate
X Vagus • Longest cranial n. in human body • Innervates head, neck, thorax and abdomen
X Vagus • Mixed • Motor to: • Pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles • Organs in thorax and abdomen • Lungs and heart • Liver, stomach, intestines
X Vagus • Mixed • Sensory from: • Pharynx • External auditory canal • Organs of thorax and abdomen
X Vagus Vagotomy – to inhibit gastric acid secretion
XI Accessory • Motor • Motor to: • Sternocleidomastoid • Trapezius • Pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles
XII Hypoglossal • Motor to muscles of the tongue • Tongue points to side of lesion
