    Study Notes

    Cranial Nerve Functions

    • 12 pairs of cranial nerves (CN) emerge from the brain stem, responsible for various sensory and motor functions
    • Sensory functions:
      • Olfactory nerve (CN I): smell
      • Optic nerve (CN II): vision
      • Oculomotor nerve (CN III): eye movement, pupil constriction
      • Trochlear nerve (CN IV): superior oblique muscle (eye rotation)
      • Trigeminal nerve (CN V): facial sensation, motor control for chewing
      • Auditory nerve (CN VIII): hearing, balance
    • Motor functions:
      • Oculomotor nerve (CN III): eye movement, eyelid lifting
      • Trochlear nerve (CN IV): superior oblique muscle (eye rotation)
      • Trigeminal nerve (CN V): motor control for chewing
      • Facial nerve (CN VII): facial expressions, taste
      • Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX): swallowing, salivation
      • Vagus nerve (CN X): pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles
    • Other functions:
      • Abducens nerve (CN VI): lateral rectus muscle (eye movement)
      • Accessory nerve (CN XI): neck and shoulder movement
      • Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII): tongue movement

    Sensory Pathways

    • Dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway:
      • Transmits proprioception, vibration, and fine touch information from the body to the brain
      • Signals travel from sensory receptors to the dorsal column, then to the medulla oblongata, and finally to the thalamus
    • Anterior spinothalamic pathway:
      • Transmits pain and temperature information from the body to the brain
      • Signals travel from sensory receptors to the spinal cord, then to the thalamus
    • Lateral spinothalamic pathway:
      • Transmits fast pain and temperature information from the body to the brain
      • Signals travel from sensory receptors to the spinal cord, then to the thalamus

    Motor Control Systems

    • Pyramidal system:
      • Direct motor pathway from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord
      • Responsible for voluntary movements, such as walking and grasping
    • Extrapyramidal system:
      • Indirect motor pathway from the basal ganglia to the spinal cord
      • Involved in involuntary movements, such as tremors and rigidity
    • Cerebellar system:
      • Coordinates and regulates motor movements, particularly those requiring fine motor control and balance
      • Receives input from sensory receptors, spinal cord, and cerebral cortex
