Study Notes
Cranial Nerves
- Cranial Nerve VI (Abducens): Motor nerve. Controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, enabling eye movement to the side.
Cranial Nerve VII (Facial)
- Motor Fibers: Controls muscles of facial expression.
- Sensory Fibers: Taste from anterior two-thirds of the tongue, as well as sensations from external ear canal.
- Other function: Controls lacrimal and salivary glands.
Cranial Nerve VIII (Vestibulocochlear)
- Sensory Function: Transmits auditory and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear.
Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal)
- Sensory Functions: Taste from posterior one-third of tongue, gag reflex, general sensation of throat, tonsils, and part of the eustachian tube.
- Motor Functions: Salivary secretion, swallowing, and stylopharyngeus muscle.
Cranial Nerve X (Vagus)
- Sensory Functions: Taste from epiglottis and pharynx. General sensation from the throat, esophagus, heart, lungs, and abdominal organs.
- Motor Functions: Swallowing, speaking, parasympathetic innervation of the heart, smooth muscles and glands of the thoracic and abdominal viscera.
