Appendix C Flashcards
Cranial nerve 1 the olfactory nerve does what?
Carries olfactory input to the brain via the olfactory bulb and tract (after receiving the chemical stimuli from the nose). Much of this input is ultimately interpreted by the uncus of each temporal lobe.
Cranial nerve #1
Olfactory nerve
The input from this nerve is ultimately interpreted by the uncus of each temporal lobe.
Cranial nerve pair 1 aka the olfactory nerve pair
Cranial nerve 2 is known as the?
Optic nerve pair
Cranial nerve 2 aka the optic nerve pair does what?
The optic nerve carries about a million neuron fibers back from the retina of each eye to the brain via the optic nerves, Chiasma, and tracts. The neurons near the Calcarine sulcus of each occipital lobe serve as the sight interpretation centers.
The neurons near the Calcarine sulcus in the occipital lobe serve as the ________ __________ centers for the __________ nerve pair?
Sight interpretation, and Optic aka cranial nerve 2
Cranial nerve 3 is known as?
Oculomotor nerve pair
Cranial nerve 4 is also known as?
Trochlear nerve pair
Cranial nerve 5 is known as?
Trigeminal nerve pair
Cranial nerves III, IV, and VI all go to what area?
The eye area
There are six voluntary muscles that allow us to move each eyeball.
True or false
True
They work together so we can see one object instead of having double vision.
Cranial nerve IV (trochlear) controls how many muscles?
One per nerve. Ex a pair will control two muscles, one per eye.
What is the function of cranial nerve IV (trochlear)?
Eye muscle control, eye coordination to see one image.
Cranial nerve III (oculomotor) controls how many eye muscles?
4 muscles per side.
Cranial nerve III (oculomotor) also has parasympathetic control of the smooth muscles of the inside eye that allow?
The use of more or less light, and keeps us in focus when switching to near objects from objects at distance.
Name the three subdivisions of the trigeminal nerve?
Ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular.
The trigeminal is primarily a sensory nerve but does provide motor fibers to the muscles that?
Help us chew our food
The trigeminal typically carries what 4 sensations from the facial areas?
Pain, thermal, light and deep touch
The largest cranial nerve with apparent origin from the side of the
Pons?
Cranial nerve V aka the trigeminal nerve
The larger and more complex cranial nerve of the 3 eye muscle control nerves?
Oculomotor nerve. Cranial nerve III
