Preserving Renal Function with Medication. 1  1. Control your blood pressure. If diet and exercise are not sufficient to keep you from developing hypertension, your doctor may prescribe medications. 2  2. Address anemia. Most patients with kidney failure (except those with polycystic kidney disease) will develop anemia.
Motor Functions. The phrenic nerve provides motor innervation to the diaphragm; the main muscle of respiration. As the phrenic nerve is a bilateral structure, each nerve supplies the ipsilateral side of the diaphragm (i.e. the hemi-diaphragm on the same side as itself).
1 The facial nerve then passes through the parotid gland, which it does not innervate, to form the parotid plexus, which splits into five branches innervating the muscles of facial expression (temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, cervical). In the tympanic segment, the facial nerve runs through the tympanic cavity, medial to the incus. 2  The pyramidal eminence is the second bend in the facial nerve, where the nerve runs downward as the mastoid segment. 3  In the temporal part of the facial canal, the nerve gives to the stapedius and chorda tympani.
