Vagus Nerve Anatomy Gross Anatomy. The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve. It contains motor and sensory fibers and, because it passes through the neck and thorax to the abdomen, has the widest distribution in the body. It contains somatic and visceral afferent fibers, as well as general and special visceral efferent fibers.(See Table 1, below.).he vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve.

Neuro Cranial Nerves True to its name the vagus nerve wanders from the brain stem through organs in the neck, thorax and abdomen. The nerve exits the brain stem through rootlets in the medulla that are caudal to the rootlets for the ninth cranial nerve. The rootlets form the tenth cranial nerve and exit the cranium via the jugular foramen.rue to its name the vagus nerve wanders from the brain stem through organs in the neck, thorax and abdomen.

Cranial Nerves of the Face and Mouth: Motion and Sensation Functionality Trigeminal Nerve or Cranial Nerve V. As you cry tears of joy at the awesome taste in your mouth, all thanks to the facial nerve, you'll want to wipe those tears away from your eyes and cheek. As you wipe away the tears, you can sense the cloth against your skin.et's review what the cranial nerves do one more time. The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is the most important nerve controlling muscles of facial expression. It is responsible for the sensation of taste in the anterior two-thirds of your mouth.

Nervous System Anatomy Facial Nerve (VII) This nerve is both motor and sensory. It also has parasympathetic functions controlling the lacrimal gland, as well as the mandibular and sublingual salivary glands. It leaves the cranium by way of the internal auditory meatus and then exits from the skull via the stylomastoid foramen.

Innervation and blood supply of the teeth The maxillary nerve, which is the second division of the trigeminal nerve (CN V/II) carries sensory fibers to the teeth. It runs laterally to the cavernous sinus and exits the skull via the foramen rotundum in the middle cranial fossa, leading into the pterygopalatine fossa.he middle superior alveolar nerve varies upon its path and as it descends to form the middle portion of the superior dental plexus it innervates the medial and lateral aspects of the maxillary sinus and the premolars.

Incisive foramen The incisive foramen receives the nasopalatine nerves from the floor of the nasal cavity along with the sphenopalatine artery supplying the mucous membrane covering the hard palate of the mouth.he incisive foramen is continuous with the incisive canal, this foramen or group of foramina is located behind the central incisor teeth in the incisive fossa of the maxilla.

Parotid duct Running along with the duct superiorly is the transverse facial artery and upper buccal nerve; running along with the duct inferiorly is the lower buccal nerve. The exit of the parotid ducts can be felt as small bumps (Papillae) on both sides of the mouth, and are usually positioned next to the maxillary second molars.

Mr David Cheung Because the facial nerve is a nerve which supplies the muscles of the facial expression and the tear gland of the eye. Loss of function of the facial nerve can have quite marked consequences on the face. Bells palsy: 2 weeks after onset. Notice the patient's difficulty in trying to close his right eye in the early stages of the palsy (the eyelid shows 10mm of non-closure).

Facial nerve The facial nerve is also known as the seventh cranial nerve (CN7) . This nerve performs two major functions. It conveys some sensory information from the tongue and the interior of the mouth.

Bell's Palsy & Other Facial Nerve Problems: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments, and Prognosis The facial nerve is the seventh of the twelve cranial nerves. Everyone has two facial nerves, one for each side of the face. The facial nerve travels with the hearing nerve (the eighth cranial nerve) as it travels in and around the structures of the middle ear.

The Facial Nerve (CN VII) The facial nerve, CN VII, is the seventh paired cranial nerve. In this article, we shall look at the anatomical course of the nerve, and the motor, sensory and parasympathetic functions of its terminal branches.he course of the facial nerve is very complex. There are many branches, which transmit a combination of sensory, motor and parasympathetic fibres. Anatomically, the course of the facial nerve can be divided into two parts: 1  Intracranial – the course of the nerve through the cranial cavity, and the cranium itself.

- The facial motor nucleus is located in the lower third of the pons, beneath the fourth ventricle. The neurons leaving the nucleus pass around the abducens nucleus as they emerge from the brainstem. Involvement of the facial nerve nucleus and VI nerve nucleus are suggestive of a lesion near the fourth ventricle.he facial nerve, or cranial nerve (CN) VII, is the nerve of facial expression. The pathways of the facial nerve are variable, and knowledge of the key intratemporal and extratemporal landmarks is essential for accurate physical diagnosis and safe and effective surgical intervention in the head and neck.

#9 - Cranial Cavity 1 The spinal part of the spinal accessory nerves (N98) emerge from the cervical level of the spinal cord and enter the cranial cavity through the foramen magnum (N8). 2  They may be left intact. 3  Finally, the hypoglossal nerves (N98) and the vertebral arteries (894/N132) are located near the foramen magnum and cut. Associate each with its proper fossa and the foramen it uses to exit the cranial cavity. 2  Carefully remove the true dura from the lateral surface of the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve) and display the trigeminal (semilunar) ganglion (N98) located in a cave of dura.

Facial Nerve Disorders An ear specialist is often called upon to manage facial nerve problems because of the close association of this nerve with the ear structures. After leaving the brain the facial nerve enters the temporal bone (ear bone) through a small bony tube (the internal auditory canal) in very close association with the hearing and balance nerves. Along its inch and a half course through a small bony canal in the temporal bone the facial nerve winds around the three middle ear bones, in back of the eardrum, and then through the mastoid to exit below the ear.

Anatomically, the course of the facial nerve can be divided into two parts: 1  Intracranial – the course of the nerve through the cranial cavity, and the cranium itself.ranches of the facial nerve are responsible for innervating many of the muscles of the head and neck. All these muscles are derivatives of the second pharyngeal arch. The first motor branch arises within the facial canal; the nerve to stapedius.

Cranial Nerve # 7: Facial Nerve Description and Physiology. The seventh cranial nerve is the facial nerve. This nerve is both a sensory and motor nerve. The facial nerve originates from the pons and innervates the motor function of the muscles of facial expression.

Chapter 5: Facial sensations & movements The motor portion of. this nerve supplies the muscles of the face and scalp: buccinator, platysma and so on, along with. motor control to the submandibular, sublingual and lacrimal glands. The sensory portion of this. nerve carries sensory information for taste from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and the palate. Lesions of the facial nerve cause facial paralysis that is usually unilateral. There is also a loss of. taste sensation in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and decreased salivation.

Hypoglossal nerve The path of the nerve starts in the hypoglossal nucleus of the brainstem, which is located near the midline of the medulla oblongata, and then travels between the carotid artery and jugular vein to end up on the underside of the tongue. If there are problems with the hypoglossal nerve, the tongue may become paralyzed.
