Study Notes
Cranial Nerves and Their Functions
- Cranial Nerve I (Olfactory) is responsible for sensing the upper portion of the nose.
- Cranial Nerve V (Trigeminal) is responsible for sensing pain, touch, and temperature in the body of the tongue, soft palate, external nose (but not the upper portion), paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx.
Taste and Touch Sensations
- Cranial Nerve VII (Facial Nerve) is responsible for sensing taste in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and stimulating mucous gland production in the nose.
- Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal) is responsible for sensing taste, pain, and touch in the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, and is involved in the afferent limb of the gag reflex.
Motor Functions
- Cranial Nerve X (Vagus) is involved in motor functions of the palate and laryngopharynx.
- Cranial Nerve XI (Spinal Accessory) is involved in motor functions of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
- Cranial Nerve XII (Hypoglossal) is involved in motor functions of all muscles of the tongue except the palatoglossus.
Pterygopalatine Ganglion
- The Pterygopalatine Ganglion (Sphenopalatine Ganglion/SPG) connects to the sphenopalatine nerve and lies inferior to Cranial Nerve V.
- It receives preganglionic parasympathetic neurons from Cranial Nerve VII.
- Regional anesthesia blocks the maxillary nerve, and parasympathetic block.
- Cholinergic neurons innervate cerebral blood vessels that dilate with stimulation.
