    Study Notes

    Cranial Nerves Overview

    • There are twelve cranial nerves (CN) that primarily supply the head and neck region.
    • Functions are classified as motor or sensory, with various subtypes:
      • GSE: General Somatic Efferent
      • SVE: Special Visceral Efferent
      • GVE: General Visceral Efferent
      • SSA: Special Somatic Afferent
      • SVA: Special Visceral Afferent
      • GVA: General Visceral Afferent
      • GSA: General Somatic Afferent

    CN I: Olfactory

    • Function: Smell (SSA)
    • Cranial Exit: Foramina in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone
    • Processed: Olfactory cortex

    CN II: Optic

    • Function: Vision from retina (SSA)
    • Cranial Exit: Optic Canal
    • Processed: Superior colliculus and visual cortex

    CN III: Oculomotor

    • Motor Function: Controls eye movements (GSE) for superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique, and levator palpebrae superioris
    • Parasympathetic Function: Controls sphincter pupillae and ciliary muscle (GVE) for pupil constriction and lens accommodation
    • Cranial Exit: Superior Orbital Fissure
    • Nuclei: Oculomotor nuclei and Edinger-Westphal nucleus

    CN IV: Trochlear

    • Function: Motor to superior oblique muscle for eye movement (GSE)
    • Cranial Exit: Superior Orbital Fissure
    • Nuclei: Trochlear nuclei in the lower midbrain

    CN V: Trigeminal Nerve

    • Consists of three divisions:
      • V1 (Ophthalmic): Sensory
      • V2 (Maxillary): Sensory
      • V3 (Mandibular): Motor
    • Nuclei located: Pons

    CN VI: Abducens

    • Function: Motor to lateral rectus muscle for lateral eye movement (GSE)
    • Cranial Exit: Superior Orbital Fissure
    • Nuclei: Abducens nuclei in lower pons

    CN VII: Facial

    • Motor Function: Controls muscles of facial expression, stapedius, and some salivary glands (SVE)
    • Sensory Function: Taste from the anterior two-thirds of tongue and sensation from the external acoustic meatus (GSA)
    • Cranial Exit: Internal acoustic meatus; stylomastoid foramen
    • Nuclei: Facial nuclei in lower pons

    CN VIII: Vestibulocochlear

    • Function: Vestibular sensation and hearing (SSA)
    • Cranial Exit: Internal acoustic meatus
    • Processed: Vestibular nuclei in upper medulla/lower pons

    CN IX: Glossopharyngeal

    • Functions:
      • SVE: Parasympathetic to parotid gland
      • GVE: Motor to stylopharyngeus
      • GSA: Sensation from ear and pharynx
      • GVA: Sensation from carotid body and sinus
      • SVA: Taste from posterior one-third of tongue
    • Cranial Exit: Jugular Foramen
    • Nuclei located in: Medulla

    CN X: Vagus

    • Functions:
      • Motor: Parasympathetic control of trachea, bronchi, digestive tract; motor to constrictors of pharynx and larynx
      • Sensory: Sensation from various organs, including heart and intestines
      • Taste: From epiglottis and palate
    • Cranial Exit: Jugular Foramen
    • Nuclei located in: Medulla

    CN XI: Spinal Accessory

    • Function: Motor to sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles
    • Cranial Exit: Jugular foramen

    CN XII: Hypoglossal

    • Function: Motor innervation to tongue muscles
    • Cranial Exit: Preolivary sulcus in upper medulla

    Clinical Case Overview

    • A patient with cranial injuries exhibits double vision and can’t look downward and outward simultaneously with the right eye.
    • Possible affected structure likely is CN IV (Trochlear Nerve) due to its role in controlling eye movement via the superior oblique muscle.

    Key Facts about Eye Movement

    • CN IV (Trochlear): Innervates the superior oblique muscle, responsible for downward and outward eye movement.
    • CN III (Oculomotor): Involves multiple eye muscles and reflex functions including pupil constriction.
    • CN VI (Abducens): Manages lateral movement by controlling the lateral rectus muscle.
