Mnemonic for Foramin pathways.
Assign the CN to one of the nine foramina.
CCSFFFIJC
- Cribiform plate: CN I
- Canal in sphenoid bone: CN II
- Superior orbital fissure: CN III, IV, V, VI, V1
- F. Rotundum: V2
- F. Spinosum: V3
- Internal auditory meatus: CN VII, VIII
- Jugular foramina: CN IX, X, XI
- Canal for occiptal bone: CN XII
-
Which nerves carry Parasympathetic neurons? (4)
CN III (3), oculomotor
VII (7), facial
IX (9), glossopharyngeal
XI (11) accessory
-
Of the CN, designate each to their rightful area:
Cerebral hemispheres
Midbrain
Pons
Medulla Oblongata
- Ch: 1-2 (2)
- Olfactory, optic
- Midbrain: 3-4 (2)
- Occulomotor, trochlear
- Pons: 5-8 (3 1/2)
- Trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibulocochlear
- Medulla Oblongata: 8-12 (4 1/2)
- Vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal
*CN VIII (8) vestibulocochlear is both Pons and MO.
