Cranial Nerve III

The Oculomotor nerve (CN III) controls various eye movements, including superior rectus (SR), inferior rectus (IR), medial rectus (MR), and inferior oblique (IO), as well as pupillary constriction, accommodation, and eyelid opening through the levator palpebrae muscle.

Glossopharyngeal Nerve Role

The Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) controls taste and sensation from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, swallowing, parotid salivary gland secretion, monitoring the carotid body's oxygen levels, and elevating the pharynx and larynx.

Vagus Nerve Function

The Vagus nerve (CN X) controls taste from the supraglottic region, soft palate elevation, swallowing, talking, cough reflex, and parasympathetic innervation to thoracic and abdominal viscera. It also monitors the aortic arch chemoreceptors and baroreceptors.

Which cranial nerve is associated with the Labyrinthine artery?

The Labyrinthine artery supplies both the Facial nerve (CN VII) and the Vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII), which controls hearing and balance.

Cranial Nerve III Function

The Oculomotor nerve (CN III) controls multiple eye movements, including superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique muscles. It also regulates pupillary constriction, accommodation, and eyelid opening.
