Study Notes
Cranial Nerve Classification
- Afferent (sensory) fibers are only found in cranial nerves I, II, and VIII.
Cranial Nerve Functions
- Cranial nerve III (oculomotor) is responsible for controlling muscle movements in the head and neck.
- Cranial nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear) is involved in the sense of hearing and balance.
- Cranial nerve I (olfactory) is associated with the sense of smell.
- Cranial nerve I (olfactory) functions solely by carrying afferent impulses for the sense of smell.
- Cranial nerve III (oculomotor) contains only efferent (motor) fibers.
- Cranial nerve V (trigeminal) carries sensory impulses from various areas of the face and supplies motor fibers for mastication.
- Cranial nerve III (oculomotor) primarily directs the eyeball and is parasympathetically controlled.
- Cranial nerve VII (facial) injury can lead to facial expression issues and taste impairment from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
- Cranial nerve VI (abducens) primarily innervates the lateral rectus muscle, responsible for abducting the eye.
- Cranial nerve X (vagus) extends beyond the head and neck and is a mixed nerve with parasympathetic motor fibers to the heart, lungs, and visceral organs.
- Cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) primarily supplies fibers to the larynx, pharynx, and soft palate, as well as innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid.
- Cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) injury can lead to difficulty in swallowing and speech due to impairment of tongue muscles.
- Cranial nerve III (oculomotor) functions in raising the eyelid, directing the eyeball, constricting the iris, and controlling lens shape.
- Cranial nerve II (optic) carries sensory impulses exclusively for vision.
- Cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) primarily innervates part of the tongue and pharynx, and provides motor fibers to the parotid salivary gland.
- Cranial nerve XI (accessory) is formed from a cranial root emerging from the medulla and a spinal root arising from the superior region of the spinal cord.
