cranial Nerves (Lecture 19) Flashcards
Cranial Nerves
- anterior to posterior
- may have one or more of the three functions:
• sensory=special ( coming from specialized sensory organs ex) eye or nose) or general (pain, touch, temp)
• somatic= skeletal muscles
• parasymphatic= regulation of glands, smooth muscles, cardiac muscle. Voluntary semantic/ muscle under voluntary control. Autonomous/ rest and digest
Proprioception= positional information of body parts. Important for balance.
Cranial Nerves
- olfactory (I) smell
- optic (II) eyes
- oculomotor (III) muscles of the eye
- Trochlear (IV)
- Trigeminal (V) 3 branches
- abducens (VI)
- facial (VII)
- vestibulocochlear (VIII) auditory
- glossopharyngeal (IX) tongue
- vagus (X) wanderer, goes to places of the body no other Nerves go
- accessory (XI) spinal
- hypoglossal (XII)

S= sensory only
M= motor only
B= both
CN I
Olfactory= sensory / smell
CN II
Optic= sensory/ sight
CN III
Oculomotor=
motor: moves eye back and forth and up and down. 4 out of 6 Nerves innervated by the oculomotor.
Parasympathetic: constriction of pupil, shape of lens. # 3 constricts pupil and changes shape of lens. Looking at something in the distance changes shape of lens.
Iris: color anterior side and pupil = smooth muscle inside of eye.
CN IV
Trochlear= motor/ 1 eye muscle
CN V
Trigeminal=
Sensory: face, nasal cavity, cheeks, lips, oral cavity, skin of mandible
Motor: muscles of mastication, Anterior belly of digastric and mylohyoid
CN VI
Abducens= motor/ 1 eye muscle
CN VII
Facial:
Sensory: taste/ anterior 2/3 of tongue
Motor/somatic: facial muscles, posterior belly of the digastric ( hyoid to mastoid). Stimulates almost all facial muscles
• parasympathetic: 2 of 3 salivary glands, lacrimal glands ( tear gland)
CN VIII
Vestibulocochlear: sensory/ balance
CN IX
Glossopharyngeal:
Sensory: taste, posterior 1/3 of tongue, tonsils, middle ear
Motor: 1 muscle of pharynx ( swallowing)
• parasympathetic: parotid salivary gland, glands of tongue
CN X
Vagus:
Sensory: taste, back of mouth, pharynx, larynx, thoracic and abdominal organ.
Motor: muscles of larynx (voice box), most muscles of pharynx
• parasympathetic: thoracic and abdominal organs= digestive tract, stomach churning, something moving through intestines
CN XI
Accessory: motor= sternocleidomastoid, trapezius
CN XII
Hypoglossal: motor/ tongue muscles
Paralysis of muscles with a resultant impairment of speech and deviation of tongue to one side of the mouth could indicate damage to the hypoglossal nerve.
