Study Notes
Cranial Nerves
- Cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves that emerge from the brain and brainstem
- They are responsible for transmitting sensory and motor information
- Each nerve has a specific function and number
- They carry information to and from different parts of the body
- They control various functions, including sight, smell, taste, movement and more.
Cranial Nerve Functions
-
Cranial nerve I (olfactory): carries smell information
-
Cranial nerve II (optic): carries visual information
-
Cranial nerve III (oculomotor): controls eye movements, pupil constriction, and lens shape
-
Cranial nerve IV (trochlear): controls eye movements.
-
Cranial nerve V (trigeminal): has three branches and carries sensory information from the face and head, and motor information to the muscles of mastication (chewing)
-
Cranial nerve VI (abducens): controls eye movement.
-
Cranial nerve VII (facial): carries sensory information about taste and motor information to facial muscles.
-
Cranial nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear): carries auditory and balance information.
-
Cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal): carries sensory information from part of the tongue and pharynx, and motor information to some throat muscles.
-
Cranial nerve X (vagus): carries sensory and motor information through the neck and thorax to many organs of the body.
-
Cranial nerve XI (accessory): carries motor information to muscles of the neck and shoulders.
-
Cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal): carries motor information to muscles of the tongue.
Trigeminal Nerve
- The trigeminal nerve (CN V) has three branches: ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (V3)
- The ophthalmic and maxillary branches are purely sensory
- The mandibular branch is both sensory and motor
Spinal Nerves
- Spinal nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system.
- They emerge from the spinal cord and extend to various parts of the body
- They control various functions through sensory and motor information.
Other Information
- Specific cranial nerves are associated with the different parts of the face and head
- These nerves are important in transmitting sensory information for vision, smell, taste, and pain
- Motor control of the face, jaw, neck, and tongue is also carried out by cranial and spinal nerves.
