Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?

Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.


What would happen if the anterior ramus of the spinal nerve is damaged or transected?

The end organ or muscle innervated by that particular spinal nerve component would atrophy.


What would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damaged?

Loss of both motor and sensory function


Would there be a loss of sensory or motor function when someone damages the dorsal root of a spinal nerve?

Yes this can happen when any nerve is damaged but this is a greater danger if its an actual Spinal Nerve.


Which cranial nerve lies medial to the vagus nerve?

That would be the hypoglossal nerve, which lies medial from the vagus, accessory, glossopharyngeal nerves.


Which cranial nerve is used in reading the paper?

The main nerve required would be the optic nerve (II), although you would also use the ocular motor nerve (III) to move the eyes. Other cranial nerves involved are: Trochlear nerve (IV) and Abducens nerve (VI).


What would happen if the skull was damaged?

Massive cranial trauma will most likely result in death. Partial, or minor cranial trauma can usually be fixed with surgery. that is if we are not talking about halo skulls, cause you cant shatter halo skulls


What cranial nerve is used for chewing food?

the trigeminal nerve (V) controls the movement of eight muscles, including the four muscles of mastication.The muscle that are involved in chewing food are the, temporalis, the masseter and the pterygoids.


What eye movement is caused by the superior oblique?

Superior oblique is controlled by cranial nerve VI (Trochlear nerve). This muscle depresses the eye and moves it laterally. A person with damage to this cranial nerve will have difficulty looking down and to the side.


What cranial nerve would involve tightrope walking and listening to music?

The Vestibulocochlear nerve is associated with balance and hearing. Vestibulo-balance, cochlear-hearing.


In fractures of middle cranial fossa absence of tears is due to lesions in which nerve and why?

The lacrimal gland produces tears in response to parasympathetic stimulation by the greater petrosal nerve. The greater petrosal is nothing more than a renaming of the parasympathetic fibers contributing to the facial nerve after it exits the internal acoustic meatus. It is this opening in the temporal bone that might be damaged in a cranial base fracture, and might also involve a lesion to the greater petrosal nerve. This would also cause an absense of tear formation. If you want to know more, wikipedia has an excellent discussion of the cranial nerves, and here is a link to the facial nerve page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_nerve Hope that helps!


What would happen to a nerve impulse carried by an interneuron if the tips of the interneorons axon were damaged?

If the tips of an interneuron's axon were damaged, the transmission of the nerve impulse would likely be disrupted or slowed down. This could result in problems with signal conduction between neurons, leading to impaired communication within the nervous system.
