Study Notes
Bones Involved in Swallowing
- The premaxilla, maxilla, zygomatic bone, part of the temporal bone, and mandible are the bones involved in swallowing.
Nerves Involved in Swallowing
- The mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve (V) plays a role in swallowing.
- The facial nerve (VII) is involved in swallowing.
- The glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) is another nerve involved in swallowing.
- The superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve (X) participates in the swallowing process.
- The recurrent laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve (X) is also involved in swallowing.
Transethmoidal Segment
- The central processes of bipolar receptor cells synapse with the olfactory bulb after traversing the cribriform plate.
- Hundreds of central processes traverse the cribriform plate as unmyelinated fascicles, termed fila olfactoria.
- Fila olfactoria are actually olfactory nerves, with each side of the nasal cavity having approximately 20 fila olfactoria.
Intracranial Olfactory Pathways
- The lateral olfactory striae is formed by the majority of fibers from the olfactory tracts
- The lateral olfactory striae course over the insula to the prepiriform area (anterior to the uncus) and amygdala
- Collaterals are given to the subfrontal or frontal olfactory cortex on the way to the prepiriform area
- Fibers project to the subthalamic nuclei with collaterals and terminal fibers to the thalamus and stria medullaris

Description
Identify the bones and nerves of the face, including the premaxilla, maxilla, and zygomatic bone, as well as the mandibular, facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. Test your knowledge of the anatomy of the face and its associated nerves.
