Question 5

How many sensory and motor cranial nerves are there?

Answer 5

Four

Question 6

What are the four sensory and motor cranial nerves?

Answer 6

Trigeminal, Facial, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus

Question 7

Carries impulses for the sense of smell

Answer 7

Olfactory

Question 8

Carries impulses for vision

Answer 8

Optic

Question 9

Supplies motor fibers to four of the six muscles (superior, inferior, and medial rectus, and inferior oblique) that direct the eyeball; to the eyelid; and to the internal eye muscles controlling lens shape and pupil size

Answer 9

Oculomotor

Question 10

Supplies motor fibers to four of the six muscles (superior, inferior, and medial rectus, and inferior oblique) that direct the eyeball; to the eyelid; and to the internal eye muscles controlling lens shape and pupil size

Answer 10

Oculomotor

Question 11

Supplies motor fibers for one external eye muscle (superior oblique)

Answer 11

Trochlear

Question 12

Conducts sensory impulses from the skin of the face and mucosa of the nose and mouth; also contains motor fibers that activate the chewing muscles

Answer 12

Trigeminal

Question 13

Supplies motor fibers to the lateral rectus muscle, which rolls the eye laterally

Answer 13

Abducens

Question 14

Activates the muscles of facial expression and the lacrimal and salivary glands; carries sensory impulses from the taste buds of anterior tongue

Answer 14

Facial

Question 15

Purely sensory; vestibular branch transmits impulses for the sense of balance, and cochlear branch transmits impulses for the sense of hearing

Answer 15

Vestibulocochlear

Question 16

Supplies motor fibers to the pharynx (throat) that promote swallowing and saliva production; carries sensory impulses from taste buds of the posterior tongue and from pressure receptors of the carotid artery

Answer 16

Glossopharyngeal

Question 17

Fibers carry sensory impulses from and motor impulses to the pharynx, larynx, and the abdominal and thoracic viscera; most motor fibers are parasympathetic fibers that promote digestive activity and help regulate heart activity

Answer 17

Vagus

Question 18

Mostly motor fibers that activate the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles

Answer 18

(Spinal) Accessory

Question 19

Motor fibers control tongue movements; sensory fibers carry impulses from the tongue

Answer 19

Hypoglossal
