  1. NEUROANATOMY Lecture : 8 Peripheral Nervous System Anatomy of the Cranial Nerves (I, II, III, IV, & VI) Prepared and presented by: Dr. Iyad Mousa Hussein, MD, Ph.D of Neurology Head of Neurology Department Nasser Hospital

  2. LECTURE OBJECTIVES: Classification of the Peripheral Nervous System. Structures of the Peripheral Nerve and nerve fibers. Classification of the Cranial Nerve. Course, Function and Lesion of the Olfactory Nerve. Course, Function and Lesion of the Optic Nerve. Course, Branches, Function, and Lesion of the Oculomotor Nerve. The actions of the ocular muscles. Course, Function, and Lesion of the Trochlear Nerve. Course, Function, and Lesion of the Abducent Nerve.

  3. Classification of the Peripheral Nervous System The peripheral nervous system (PNS) formed of the: 1. Somatic (voluntary or craniospinal) NS:which controls the skeletal muscles: a. Cranial nerves (12 pairs). b. Spinal nerves (31 pairs). 2. Autonomic NS:which controls the smooth muscles, cardiac muscles and glands activity: a. Sympathetic nervous system. b. Parasympathetic nervous system.

  4. The Peripheral Nervous System • The peripheral nervous system consists of the cranial and • spinal nerves and their associated ganglia. • There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, which leave the brain • and pass through foramina in the skull. • There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves, which leave the • spinal cord and pass through intervertebral foramina in • the vertebral column.

  5. The Nerve Fibers Definition:it is an axon or a dendrite of a nerve cell. Structures of the Nerve Fiber: 1. Schwann cell. 2. Node of Ranvier. 3. Myelin sheath. 4. Mesaxon.

  6. The Cranial Nerves Definition:The cranial nerves are consist of 12 pairs of nerves that arise from the brain.  They exit/enter the cranium through openings in the skull.

  7. The olfactory, optic and vestibulocochlear nerves are purely • sensory nerves (128). • The oculomotor, trochlear, abducent, accessory and • hypoglossal nerves are purely motor nerves. • The trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves are mixed nerves (10975). • There are three cranial motor nerves (III, IV, & VI nerves), which supply the muscles of the eye. • There are three cranial mixed nerves (VII, IX, & X nerves), which have the same plan: each contains three types of fibers: ( motor, sensory and parasympathetic).

  8. Classification of the Cranial Nerves

  9. The Olfactory Nerve (I) Olfactory Nerve: (Latin for "to smell"). Function:Special sensory nerve (smell). Olfactory nerve located in the anterior cranial fossa and attached to the inferior surface of the frontal lobe.

  10. Pathway of the Smell From receptors in olfactory mucous membranes of the nasal cavity → Fibers of olfactory nerve (consist of about 20 small filaments on each side → The cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone → Olfactory groove → olfactory bulb → Olfactory tract → direct and indirect (around corpus callosum) to terminate in olfactory sensory area ( in the uncus of temporal lobe). Note: Smell as well bilateral represented.

  11. Lesion of the Olfactory Nerve Unilateral anosmia. Bilateral anosmia. Parosmia (Smell hallucination) Cacosmia (bad smell in chronic sinusitis). Olfactory agnosia (higher-order loss of olfactory discrimination).

  12. The Optic Nerve (II) Optic Nerve: (Latin for "to see"). Function:Special sensory nerve (Sense of vision).

  13. Pathway of the Vision Receptors of light are rods and cones of retina → Optic nerve → Optic canal of the sphenoid bone → Optic chiasma (the nasal or medial fibers decussate to the opposite optic tract, while the temporal or lateral fibers continue in the same optic tract → Optic tract → Relay in the lateral geniculate body → Posterior limb of internal capsule → Optic radiation → End in areas 17, 18, 19 of occipital lobes.

  14. Lesion in the Vision Pathway Lesion in the optic nerve or retina: ipsilateral loss or decrease of vision (blindness). Lesion in the optic chiasma: bitemporal hemianopsia. Lesion in the optic tract:contralateral homonymous hemianopsia with loss direct and indirect light reflexes. Lesion in the lateral geniculate body, internal capsule and optic radiation: contralateral homonymous hemianopsia with preserved direct and indirect light reflexes. Lesion in the occipital lobe: a. Irritative:Visual hallucination. b. Destructive:contralateral homonymous hemianopsia with macular sparing and visual agnosia (the patient can see but does not recognize objects).

  15. The oculomotor Nerve (III) Oculomotor nerve: (Latin for "eye" and "moving"). Function: 1. Motor function:movement of the eye ball. 2. Autonomic (parasympathetic):pupillary reaction. Site of nucleus:it lies in the tegmentum of midbrain.

  16. The Oculomotor Nerve • The Oculomotor nerve is purely a motor nerve. • The oculomotor nerve emerges from the anterior surface • of the midbrain. • The oculomotor nerve travels in the lateral wall of the • cavernous sinus and then enters the orbit via the superior • orbital fissure of the sphenoid bone.

  17. Structure of oculomotor Nuclei The nucleus of oculomotor nerve formed of 3 main parts: 1. The Edinger-Westphal nucleus:parasympathetic function which supplies two intraocular muscles: a. Constrictor pupillae muscle → Miosis. b. Ciliary muscle → Responsible for light and accommodation reflexes. 2. The lateral cell mass (motor function):which is divided into five parts which supplies five extra ocular muscles which are from above downwards: a. Levator palpebrea superior muscle. b. Superior rectus muscle. c. Medial rectus muscle. d. Inferior oblique muscle. e. Inferior rectus muscle. 3. The central nucleus of Perlia:motor function which supplies the medial recti muscles of the two eyes allowing to contract together when both eyes converge to look to a near object.

  18. The oculomotor nerve supplies all the intra- and extraocular muscles except: Superior oblique muscle → from the trochlear nerve – IV. Lateral rectus muscle → from the abducent nerve –VI. Dilator pupillae muscle → from the sympathetic fibers.

  19. The Actions of the Ocular Muscles The Lateral Rectus Muscle: abducts (laterally) the eye ball. The Medial Rectus Muscle: adducts (medially) the eye ball. The Superior Rectus Muscle: elevates, adducts and rotates medially. The Inferior Rectus Muscle: depresses, adducts and rotates medially. The Superior Oblique Muscle: depresses, abducts and rotates laterally. The Inferior Oblique Muscle: elevates, abducts and rotates laterally.

  20. Branches of the Oculomotor Nerve • 1. Superior division:which supplies the: • a. Levator palpebrea superior muscle. • b. Superior rectus muscle. • 2. Inferior division:which supplies the: • a. Medial rectus muscle. • b. Inferior rectus muscle. • c. Inferior oblique muscle. • d. Sphincter pupillae muscle. • e. Ciliary muscle.

  21. Lesion of the Oculomotor Nerve: Ptosis: paresis of the levator palpebrea superior muscle. Diplopia: occurs only on elevation of eye lid. Squint: divergent paralytic. Mydriasis: dilated fixed pupil. Loss of light and accommodation reflexes.
