28-CranialNerves Flashcards
G__
general - distributed through the whole body
S__
special - restricted area of the body (eg taste buds)
V
visceral - visceral, taste, smell
S
somatic - supplying structures in body wall, eg skin, muscle, joints
__A
afferent
__E
efferent
GSA
general somatic afferent - pain, touch, temperature
SVA
special visceral afferent - smell, taste
GVA
general visceral afferent - mechanoreceptors, nociceptors in viscera
GSA cranial nerves (x4)
V (trigeminal), VII (vestibolocochlear), IX (glossopharyngeal), X (vagus)
SVA cranial nerves (x4)
I (olfactory), VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), X (vagus)
GVA cranial nerves (x3)
VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), X (vagus)
GVE
general visceral efferent - autonomic, parasympathetic
GVE cranial nerves (x4)
III (oculomotor), VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), X (vagus)
GSE
general somatic efferent - motor neurons
GSE cranial nerves (x4)
III (oculomotor), IV (trochlear), VI (abducens) – eye movement
XII (hypoglossal) – tongue
SVE
special visceral efferent - also motor neurons, but embryologically different (functionally identical to GSE)
