FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF INNERVATION

General Innervation - like spinal cord:

  • GSE (General Somatic Efferent) - motor to somatic voluntary skeletal muscles (derived from somites)
  • GSA (General Somatic Afferent) - sensory to skin, joints, muscle and tendon receptor endings, nasal and oral cavity
  • GVE (General Visceral Efferent) = Autonomic Efferents - motor to smooth muscles in general and smooth muscles of skin (arrector pilae muscles) and blood vessels, secretomotor to glands
  • GVA (General Visceral Afferent) - sensory to gut and its derivatives, pharynx, blood vessels, glands and internal organs

Special Innervation - only found in head:

  • SSA (Special Somatic Afferent) - special senses of vision, auditory sensation and vestibular apparatus
  • SVA (Special Visceral Afferents) - chemical senses of taste and by analogy smell
  • SVE (Special Visceral Efferents) - motor to voluntary skeletal muscles derived from branchial arches (these muscles develop in association with pharynx, which is rostral end of gut and therefore visceral)

MULTI-CATEGORY NERVES

  • nerve of pterygoid canal (MA:NERVE OF THE PTERYGOID CANAL; vidian nerve) ORIGIN={union of deep petrosal nerve and greater petrosal nerve}; DISTRIBUTION={pterygopalatine ganglion and branches}; MODALITY={parasympathetic and sympathetic}; FIBERS={sympathetic:see deep petrosal nerve (carotid nerve); parasympathetic: see greater petrosal nerve (facial nerve)}
  • pterygopalatine nerves (MA:NASAL BRANCHES OF PTERYGOPALATINE GANGLION; sphenopalatine nerves) DISTRIBUTION={the two nerves which connect the maxillary nerve to the pterygopalatine GANGLION}; MODALITY={they are the sensory roots of the ganglion}; FIBERS={GSA:all maxillary sensory from pterygopalatine to trigeminal; GVE:great and deep petrosal to lacrimal gland}
