Study Notes
Cranial Nerves Overview
- There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves, each with specific functions related to sensory and motor activities.
Olfactory Nerve (I)
- Responsible for the sense of smell.
Optic Nerve (II)
- Responsible for vision.
Oculomotor Nerve (III)
- Controls eye movements up, down, and medially.
Trochlear Nerve (IV)
- Responsible for moving the eyeball down and laterally.
Trigeminal Nerve (V)
- Major sensory nerve for the head, face, and oral cavity.
- Enables mandibular elevation and touches sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
Abducens Nerve (VI)
- Controls lateral movement of the eyeball.
Facial Nerve (VII)
- Controls muscles of facial expression.
- Transmits taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
Vestibulocochlear Nerve (VIII)
- Responsible for hearing and balance/vestibular functions.
Glossopharyngeal Nerve (IX)
- Provides sensory information from the tongue and pharynx, including taste from the posterior one-third of the tongue.
- Innervates the stylopharyngeus muscle, important for the gag reflex.
Vagus Nerve (X)
- Innervates muscles of the velum, pharynx, and larynx.
- Provides sensory information from the larynx and is involved in phonation, deglutition, and resonance.
Accessory Nerve (XI)
- Responsible for head turning and shoulder shrugging.
Hypoglossal Nerve (XII)
- Innervates all muscles of the tongue except for the palatoglossus, which is innervated by the vagus nerve.
Taste and Sensory Information
- Trigeminal nerve participates in somatosensory information from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
- Facial nerve transmits taste information from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
- Glossopharyngeal nerve handles somatosensory and taste sensations from the posterior one-third of the tongue.
Tongue Movements
- All tongue movements are controlled by the hypoglossal nerve.
Gag Reflex
- Controlled by the glossopharyngeal nerve (sensory) and the vagus nerve (motor).
- Elicited by touching the posterior pharyngeal wall, causing soft palate elevation and pharyngeal contraction.
Cranial Nerve Functions
- Facial nerve is responsible for facial expressions, including frowning and lip movement.
- Vagus nerve aids in voice production and swallowing activities.
Motor Nuclei Location
- Most cranial nerve motor nuclei are located in the brainstem.
Pupillary Reflex
- Involves specific nerves for sensory input and motor output related to pupil response.
