Some questions in Exam 4 will be similar to Exam 2 & 3 questions.
Be prepared to recognize the effects of nerve lesions and sensory / motor / parasympathetic / sympathetic deficits.
You should know the sensory territories and motor innervation of the nerves in the head and neck.
Check for connections among lesson plans. For example, some nerves (like CN V3) will innervate muscles we discuss in multiple lessons plans and multiple regions of the head and neck.
Remember that some nerves hitchhike on other nerves. You should know these pairs. A lesion or injury will only affect both if it is distal to the location they begin traveling together.
Understand structures associated with each region, cavity, fossa, etc. of the head and 3D relationships within the head and neck.
For example, understand the anatomy associated with the oral cavity. Understand the continuity between the oral cavity, the nasal cavity, and the pharynx.
