Study Notes
Cranial Nerves and Olfaction
- The cranial nerve consisting of sensory fibers concerned with smell or olfaction is the Olfactory Nerve (I).
Cranial Nerve Functions
- The cranial nerve that carries only motor fibers and is involved in movements of the eye is the Oculomotor Nerve (III).
Mixed Cranial Nerve Functions
- The cranial nerve that carries mixed fibers, including both sensory and motor fibers, is the Trigeminal Nerve (V).
Parasympathetic Component
- The cranial nerve associated with a parasympathetic component in addition to its other functions is the Vagus Nerve (X).
Olfactory Nerve Pathway
- The Olfactory Nerve (I) passes through the Cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and terminates in the Olfactory bulb.
