CN, extremities, muscles, bones Flashcards
CN I
Olfactory (S): carries smell sensations from nasal epithelium to brain’s olfactory center
CN II
Optic (S): sight to retina in form of ganglion cells
CN III
Oculomotor (M): Moves the eyeball and eyelid, adjusts the lens of the eye for near vision and also constricts the pupil of the eye via motor fibres distributed to muscles located in and around the eye.
CN IV
Trochlear (M): innervates superior oblique rotate the eyeballs in their sockets. (The action of this nerve is coordinated with those of the oculomotor and abducens nerves i.e. cranial nerves III and VI.)
CN V
Trigeminal (B): This is largest cranial nerve and splits into the following 3 divisions, each of which includes both motor and sensory fibres.
Ophthalmic nerve
Maxillary nerve
Mandibular nerve
The motor fibres of all 3 divisions control the facial muscles involved in chewing. The sensory fibres convey sensations of touch, pain and temperature from the front of the head including the mouth and also from the meninges.
CN VI
Abducens (M): Moves the eyeballs outwards by sending nerve impulses to the lateral rectus muscles.
CN VII
Facial (B): Sensory fibres are concerned with taste via the taste buds at the front of the tongue.
Motor fibres control secretion of tears via the lacrimal glands and saliva via the sublingual salivary glandsas well as facial expressions via some of the muscles of facial expression.
A branch of the facial nerve regulates the tension on the ear ossicles.
CN VIII
Vestibulocochlear (S): Two branches: Vestibular nerve (senses equilibrium) and Cochlear nerve (hearing)
Vestibular nerve:
Aids equilibrium by carrying impulses from the semicircular canals - providing info about posture, movement and balance
Cochlear nerve:
Carries impulses from the cochlea, so is known as the nerve of hearing.
CN IX
Glossopharangeal (B): Motor Fibres
Modulate swallowing via supply to muscles of the throat (pharynx) area
Parasympathetic control of secretion of saliva (via supply to the parotid salivary glands)
Sensory Fibres
Monitors blood pressure
Monitors levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood
Coordination of some muscle activity e.g. in some swallowing muscles
Sensations of taste, touch, pain and temperature from posterior third of the tongue and tissues of the soft palate
CN X
Vagus (B): Motor Fibres:
Under conscious control
Stimulates voluntary muscles that effect swallowing, coughing and speech.
Under unconscious control
Stimulates the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal tract (GI, also called the alimentary canal)
Can trigger reduction (slowing) of heart-rate
Stimulates secretion of digestive fluids
Sensory Fibres:
Monitors blood pressure
Monitors levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood
Sensations of touch, pain and temperature from thoat area
Sensations from visceral organs in thorax and abdomen
CN XI
Spinal Accessory (M): Arises from two roots, cranial and spinal.
Cranial parts: Controls swallowing movements because nerve fibres (from the cranial root of cranial nerve XI) join the vagus nerve to form the recurrent laryngeal nerve which supplies the internal laryngeal muscles.
Spinal Parts: Governs movement of the head and shoulders by supplying the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles in the (anterior and posterior) regions of the neck.
CN VII
Hypoglossal (M): Supplies the muscles of the tongue - responsible for the tongue movements involved in speech and swallowing
