Functions of Cranial Nerves
General sensation from tissues of the head, five special sensory functions, motor innvervation to skeletal muscles of the head, autonomic innervation of smooth muscle and glands of the head
divisions of trigeminal nerve

Type of fibers that CN’s carry
GSA, GSE, GVA, GVE, BE, SA (each will carry a specific combination of these and no one CN will carry all 6)
