A

CN 7 and CN 8

24
Q

What types of fibers are found in CN3

26
Q

What part of CN3 are the parasympathetic contained in

A

mainly in the medial aspect of the nerve towards the outside

27
Q

How might diabetes affect CN3

A

CN 7

33
Q

What is the chorda tympanii

A

branch of facial nerve that passes under the ear drum and conveys taste information from the anterior part of the tongue and controls secretion of the salivary glands
