OH OH OH THE TIMES ARE FUCKED, VAINAS GOT VIXENS AND HOES.
Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal,
Abducent, Facial, Vestibulocochlear, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Accessory, and
Hypoglossal.
What does the olfactory nerve do?
Carries sense of smell from nasal cavity.
where are the olfactory nerve receptors?
in olfactory epithelium.
what is the olfactory nerve’s course?
Passes through cribriform plate to olfactory bulb.
● Olfactory bulb connects to olfactory areas in brain.
what is the optic nerve do?
Carries visual information from retina.
what artery does the optic nerve have
● Has central artery of retina.
what is the optic nerve’s course
Passes through optic canal to lateral geniculate bodies.
what does the optic nerve supply
Supplies visual areas of cerebrum.
what does the occulomotor nerve supply
most extra-ocular muscles.
what muscles does the occulomotor nerve control
Controls superior, inferior, and medial rectus, inferior oblique, and levator
palpebrae superioris.
where is the motor nucleus of the oculomotor nerve
midbrain
what does the trochlear nerve supply
superior oblique muscle.
where is the nucleus for the trochlear nerve
midbrain
what does the trochlear nerve pass through
superior orbital fissure to orbit.
what are the 3 branches of the trigeminal nerve
Ophthalmic, Maxillary, Mandibular.
