facial (VII)
The mandibular nerve (V3) moves away from the brain by means of three foramina: the _____, then the _____, and finally the _____.
foramen ovale, mandibular foramen, mental foramen
This foramen is in the spenoid bone and is the first foramen that the maxillary nerve passes through as it leaves the cranium.
foramen rotundum
The maxillary (V2) nerve moves away from the brain by means of three foramina: the _____, then the _____, and finally the _____.
foramen rotundum, inferior orbital fissure, infraorbital foramen
The _____ is the cranial nerve that has parasympathetic neurons that control the parotid salivary gland.
glossopharyngeal (IX)
The _____ nerve motor to stylopharyngeus muscle, sensory to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue (general senses and taste), pharynx, a branch to carotid sinus, as well as parasympathetic neurons to the parotid gland.
glossopharyngeal (IX)
The _____, _____, and _____ nerves as well as the _____ (vessel) pass through the jugular foramen to exit the skull cavity.
glossopharyngeal (IX), vagus (X), spinal accessory (XI), internal jugular vein
This cranial nerve is found in the anterior triangle of the neck. It runs with an artery that has a different name, but their names translate to the same meaning. It is a motor nerve.
hypoglossal
The _____ nerve controls muscles of the tongue.
hypoglossal (XII)
This foramen has appreciable depth. It is found in the anterolateral wall of the foramen magnum. It houses cranial nerve XII.
hypoglossal canal
The _____ fissure is formed by the sphenoid, maxilla, palatine, and zygomatic bones and transmits the maxillary nerve.
inferior orbital
This feature is formed by the sphenoid bone, maxillary, palatine, and zygomatic bones. It provides for passage of the maxillary nerve and is the second foramen that nerve passes through.
inferior orbital fissure
This foramen has one vessel and three nerves passing through it. It is found along the suture between the temporal and occipital bones.
jugular foramen
This is the only skull foramen we study that does not allow passage of a cranial nerve. It provides for passage of the lacrimal duct (quack).
lacrimal foramen
This is the third foramen that the mandibular nerve passes through on its way to the skin of the face. It is in the mandible.
mental foramen
The _____ is the cranial nerve that provides the sensation from the skin of the face, teeth of the mandible, and general sensation (not taste) from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue.
mandibular (V3)
This is the second foramen that the mandibular nerve passes through. It is in the mandible.
mandibular foramen
This is the second branch of cranial nerve V. It passes through three foramina on its way to the face. It is a sensory nerve to the skin of the face, oral cavity, and teeth.
maxillary
The _____ conducts sensory impulses from the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, skin of face, oral cavity and teeth of the maxillary bone.
maxillary (V2)
The _____ is the only cranial nerve that does not originate from the brain, but rather from the spinal cord.
spinal accessory (XI)
