Study Notes
Peripheral Nervous System: Cranial Nerves and Special Senses
- The lecture covers the peripheral nervous system, focusing on cranial nerves and special senses.
- Students should be able to define, identify, describe, spell, determine the function, and understand the relationships among the autonomic, sympathetic, and parasympathetic nervous systems, motor nerves, sensory nerves, somatic, visceral nerves, cranial nerves, olfactory nerve, optic nerve, oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, trigeminal nerve, abducens nerve, facial nerve, vestibulocochlear nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve, and spinal accessory nerve, and hypoglossal nerve.
- Students need to know Roman numerals I through XII.
- Students should be able to describe and label the cranial nerves, from their brainstem origin to their target organs.
- Students should be able to describe the functions of the cranial nerves, especially focusing on how each nerve contributes to sensory information.
- Students should also be able to describe the motor functions of the cranial nerves.
- Learn at least 1 topic of personal interest, such as vision, smell, taste, hearing, or balance, detailing the anatomy and physiology.
Cranial Nerve Mnemonics
- A mnemonic device for remembering cranial nerve names is "Oh, Once One Takes The Anatomy Final, Very Good Vacations Are Heavenly!"
- Another mnemonic for cranial nerve functions is "Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big “Brains” Mean More."
- Other mnemonics exist for remembering the locations of origin and exits of the cranial nerves (e.g., "Carl Only Swims South").
Cranial Nerve Details
- Detailed information on each cranial nerve (I-XII), including their names, functions, and the foramina they exit. For example, the olfactory nerve doesn't connect to the brainstem, the optic nerve passes through the optic canal, the oculomotor nerve's function includes moving most extrinsic eye muscles, the trochlear nerve is involved in superior oblique muscle movement.
- Knowledge of the specific nerves' origins, target organs, functions, (sensory or motor) is critical.
- The specifics of each nerve's sensory and/or motor functions are essential.
- Understanding of the foramina (bony openings) through which the nerves exit the skull.
- Knowledge of any related clinical or medical applications (e.g., the trigeminal nerve's relation to dentistry.
