Study Notes
- The text discusses the twelve cranial nerves and their functions
- Cranial Nerve I: Olfactory - arises from the olfactory epithelium, carries afferent impulses for the sense of smell
- Cranial Nerve II: Optic - arises from the retina of the eye, carries afferent impulses for vision
- Cranial Nerve III: Oculomotor - fibers extend from the ventral midbrain, control eye movements and pupil size
- Cranial Nerve IV: Trochlear - fibers emerge from the dorsal midbrain, innervate the superior oblique muscle
- Cranial Nerve V: Trigeminal - composed of three divisions, conveys sensory impulses from various areas of the face and supplies motor fibers for mastication
- Cranial Nerve VI: Abducens - fibers leave the inferior pons, innervate the lateral rectus muscle
- Cranial Nerve VII: Facial - fibers leave the pons, carry motor functions for facial expression, and sensory function for taste from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue
- Cranial Nerve VIII: Vestibulocochlear - fibers arise from the hearing and equilibrium apparatus of the inner ear, carry solely sensory impulses for equilibrium and hearing
- Cranial Nerve IX: Glossopharyngeal - fibers emerge from the medulla, carry both motor and sensory impulses, motor for part of the tongue, pharynx, and parotid salivary gland, and sensory for taste and general sensory impulses from the tongue and pharynx
- Cranial Nerve X: Vagus - fibers emerge from the medulla via the jugular foramen, a mixed nerve with most motor fibers being parasympathetic to the heart, lungs, and visceral organs, and sensory function in taste
- Cranial Nerve XI: Accessory - formed from cranial and spinal roots, primarily a motor nerve that supplies fibers to the larynx, pharynx, and soft palate, and innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles
- Cranial Nerve XII: Hypoglossal - fibers arise from the medulla and exit the skull via the hypoglossal canal, innervates both extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue for swallowing and speech
- Each cranial nerve has a unique origin, function, and structure.
