Study Notes
Cranial Nerve XI - Accessory
- Motor - Spinal & Cranial Components
- Spinal fibers from 5-6 most cranial segments of spinal cord & enters cranial cavity
- Joins cranial part & emerges through jugular foramen
- Motor nerve to Trapezius muscle & Sternomastoid muscle (spinal part)
- Cranial part joins the vagus nerve
Cranial Nerve XII - Hypoglossal
- Motor Nerve
- Arises from medulla oblongata
- Passes into cavity & vid Hypoglossal cavity
- Motor to intrinsic & extrinsic muscles of tongue (except palatoglossus)
- Essential for eating, speaking, swallowing
