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
