*Cervical Fascias:* 1. cervical fascia bind deeper structures thereby giving them strength and continuity while at the same time allowing what? 2. They allow movement of visceral components during what? 3. They help isolate the spread of what? 4. although infection can spread by what 2 paths that communicate inferiorly with compartments withing the thorax
The importance of the cervical fascia! layers is several fold. 1. They bind deeper structures thereby giving them strength and continuity while at the same time allowing movement to take place. 2. They also allow movement of visceral components during swallowing independent of movements of the neck 3. and help to isolate the spread of infection, 4. although we will see later that infection can penetrate these fascia! layers following the paths of *blood and lymph vessels* and communicate inferiorly with compartments located within the thorax.

What is the highly influential Melzack and Wall's "*Gate Control Theory of Pain*"?
Theory that there is a gate you have to pass through when going from the PNS to the CNS and whatever type of sensation is going through this gate can eliminate the other. I.E. Pain will come into the gate and synapse before going to the CNS if you get another sensory coming in such as fine touch it will block the pain and have the fine touch go to the CNS not the pain. His example is when he has a headache he pushes on the superficial portions of the trigeminal nerve and the foramina it goes through to modulate the pain so he doesn't feel it.

We are right in the thick of it...
In terms of 7 layer bean dip, explain the process of how the cerebral cortex is developed. Where are the youngest cells going to be?
We have our first wave of neurons (i..e the refried beans) that climbs up their own radial glial cells to differentiate at the cortical plate. The next wave of cells comes along, climbs their own set of radial glial cells (which has put projections through the previous cell layer) and lays themselves on top of the previous layers of cells (just like putting some guac on the beans, if you will). This continues to happen 4 more times to make the 6 layers. This is known as a "inside-out" layering with the younger neurons migrating *through* layers of older neurons.

Explain what plasticity of the cortical representation is. For example, if i lost my 2nd and 3rd digit, what would most likely take place?
"If there is anytime of catastrophic damage like amputation or some sort of loss, the part of the cortext that is usually devoted to those areas will be abosrbed by the cortex just next to it. The cortex on either side of it will take over." So for example, you would have a larger thumb and 4th/5th digit area in the cortex.

*Neural Proliferation and Migration* 1. Where is the layered cortex at (i.e in what layer)? 2. As neurogenesis is taking place, is the cortical plate the only level that grows, or do all the zones grow as well? 3. Where does asymmetric mitotic division take place? Where do they migrate to? 4. After layer in #3 is established, where do later neurons go? 5. What do new neurons being made do to the neurons that migrate from #4?
(SORRY! THIS ONE WAS KINDA CONFUSING!) 1. In the cortical plate zone 2. All of the zones grow, no just the cortical plate. 3. Takes place in the ventricular zone and these cells migrate to the preplate (known later as the marginal zone). (this layer will stay superficial) 4. Later neurons settle below the preplate, then displaced to subplate. 5. New cortical plate neurons migrate up through the subplate and push down the older neurons (inside-out development).

on the flip side is what was in Dr. George's note for a slide he didn't go into that much detail but I feel it is important for comprehension of what the freak is going on. So enjoy the read.
Pain pathways from periphery to brain. Primary afferent fibres (Aβ-, Aδ-, and C-fibres) transmit impulses from the periphery, through the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and into the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Nociceptive specific (NS) cells are mainly found in the superficial dorsal horn (laminae I-II), whereas most wide dynamic ranges (WDRs) are located deeper (lamina V). Projection neurones from lamina I innervate areas such as the parabrachial area (PB) and periaqueductal grey (PAG) and such pathways are affected by limbic areas. From here descending pathways (yellow arrows) from brainstem nuclei such as the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) are activated and modulate spinal processing. Lamina V neurones mainly project to the thalamus (spinothalamic tract), and from here the various cortical regions forming the 'pain matrix' (primary and secondary somatosensory, insular, anterior cingulate, and prefrontal cortices) are activated.

WHat sense does the oflactory nerve have? What skull foramen does it pass through?
Special sensory: *Olfaction (smell)* cribiform plate of ethmoid
Take home Message : The glottal opening is pipe that changes shape, diameter, and rigidity due to [intrinsic or extrinsic?] laryngeal muscle actions = varying tension, length and vibration pattern of the vocal [ligaments or cartilage?]
Take home: The glottal opening is pipe that changes shape, diameter, and rigidity due to *intrinsic* laryngeal muscle actions = varying tension, length and vibration pattern of the vocal *ligaments*
What do all of the "mixed" (sensory and motor) nerves have in common?
These are the ones going to the pharyngeal arches Embryology decides what the nerves will be
*NAME THE TRACT* Which tract would have the following identifying information? -Unconscious proprioception -Info from muscle spindle, golgi tendon organs from muscles and joints. -Primary cell bodies are in the DRG -First synapse is in Clarke's Nucleus of the thoracic cord. -Travels in the posterior funiculi.
This is describing the posterior spinocerebellar tract (or dorsal spinocerebellar tract)
What are the symptoms of a peripheral facial n. weakness?
Unable to wrinkly forehead. Eyelid droops very slightly. Cannot show teeth. Lower lip droops slightly
What is the innervation of the Middle scalene m.?
Ventral rami, spinal nerves C3 - C8
If you see loss of pain and temperature in the *body and face* why might you be led to think this is a brain stem lesion?
Ventral trigeminothalamic (pain and temp of face) ascends near the spinothalamic tract
What sense does the main sensory nucleus receive?
Vibrotactile discrimination (ex. two point discrimination)
Which neuron in the Visceral sensory pathway from the Vagus n. will be found in the Solitary nucleus? Where is the other neuron found?
Visceral Sensory: ---*1st neuron ---Inferior ganglion of CN X* ---*2nd neuron ---SOLITARY NUCEUS* Solitary nucleus think special sense taste
Pharyngeal Arch Nerves & Muscles *Overview PICTURE*
What a great overview now will someone memorize this for me and take the test for me?
1. The carotid canal and the jugular foramen. THIS IS WHERE THE CAROTID SHEATH ATTACHES on the base of the skull (on all boney points that surround the two foramina). 2. The 12th nerve (hypoglossal n.). It comes out the hypoglossal canal that is just superior to the occipital condyle which is just adjacent to the jugular foramen.
What does the red jagged line represent? Why is this important? What important nerve has proximity to the carotid sheath at this point?
1. probably within the aqueduct or higher b/c fourth duct is same size but lateral and 3rd ventricles are bigger 2. non-communicating lots of things that could cause this.
Where's the block? is it communicating or non-communicating?
-Left common carotid is longer than the right -seeing arch of aorta, brachiocephalic trunk, giving rise to right common carotid and right subclavian. Also, seeing left common carotid and the left subclavian branching off arch of aorta.
Which common carotid artery is longer than the other? What other arteries are we seeing here?
*NOTE* What are other structures that are in close proximity to the vagus as it exits the skull? Is it possible that it has relations with any of them?
While in the superior retropharyngeal region, the vagus n. communicates with CNs IX, XI and XII, the superior cervical ganglion and spinal nerves C1 and C2 (see cervical plexus).
Onacouna there is no ventricle associated with it
Why do they call it the *Closed* Medulla?
WE DONE!!!
YEEEAAAAAAA!!
What are the four congenital anomalies of the skull/face are caused by neural crest cell/pharyngeal arch issues??
YOU GOT IT!! 1. Treacher collins 2. Robin sequence 3. DiGeorge Anomaly (CATCH 22) 4. Goldenhar syndrome
6 Major Branches of External Carotid that supply the face (you can flip before you answer... I have a picture to help)
You are so welcome (Rob's fav baseball team is the ori-scrolls) A. Occipital A B. Posterior Auricular A C. Transverse Facial A D. Superficial Temporal A E. Maxillary A F. Facial A
guess what......
You're done!! Wooo!

3 part question here... What were the 3 *longitudinal* muscles of the pharynx again *&* what are the 1 attachments for each *&* is each visible internally or externally?
i: *Stylopharyngeus*, Styloid Process, Visible externally ii: *Salpingopharyngeus*, Cartilaginous Auditory Tube, Visible internally iii: *Palatopharyngeus*, Soft Palate, Visible internally
Arterial supply of the pharynx happens primary through what 3 arteries + what do each branch from?
i: Ascending Pharyngeal A. (from Ext. Carotid) ii: Superior Thyroid A. (from Ext. Carotid) iii: Inferior Thyroid A. (Thyrocervical Trunk)
Main venous patterns of drainage for the spinal cord... What are the 5 major veins that drain the entire length of spinal cord? (possible clinical correlation)
