Study Notes
Cranial Nerves
- Olfactory (I): Sensory - Smell from olfactory epithelium
- Optic (II): Sensory - Vision from retina
- Oculomotor (III): Motor - Eye movement (superior, medial, inferior rectus, inferior oblique, levator palpebrae superioris muscles), intrinsic eye muscles (iris and ciliary body)
- Trochlear (IV): Motor - Superior oblique muscle
- Trigeminal (V): Mixed - Motor to muscles of mastication; sensory from orbital and facial features, mouth (lips, gums, teeth, palate, tongue, pharynx)
- Abducens (VI): Motor - Lateral rectus muscle
- Facial (VII): Mixed - Motor to facial expression, lacrimal gland, submandibular and sublingual salivary glands; sensory from anterior 2/3 of tongue
- Vestibulocochlear (VIII): Sensory - Hearing and equilibrium from cochlea and vestibule
- Glossopharyngeal (IX): Mixed - Motor to pharyngeal muscles, parotid gland; sensory from posterior third of tongue, pharynx, palate; sensory receptors for blood pressure, pH, oxygen and carbon dioxide
- Vagus (X): Mixed - Motor to pharyngeal and palatal muscles, visceral motor to thoracic and abdominopelvic structures; sensory from pharynx, auricle, external acoustic meatus, diaphragm, and visceral organs
- Accessory (XI): Motor - Skeletal muscles of the palate, pharynx, larynx; innervates sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles
- Hypoglossal (XII): Motor - Somatic motor control of the tongue
