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
V1: Opthalmic V2:MaxillaryV3: Mandibular
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)
Sensory Only CN’s
I, II, VIII
Motor Only CN’s
III, IV, VI, XI, XII
Motor and Sensory Mixed CN’s
V, VII, IX, X

CN V: Peripheral Sensory ganglia
Trigeminal (V1, V2, V3)
CN VII Peripheral Sensory Ganglia
Geniculate
CN VIII Peripheral Sensory ganglia
Vestibular and Spiral
CN IX Peripheral sensory ganglia
Inferior and superior
CN X peripheral sensory ganglia
Superior and inferior
SSA is responsible for what senses
vision hearing equilibrium taste and smell
GSE is responsible for what
motor innervation to skeletal muscle in the head derived from somite mesoderm
Crainial Nerve GVE fibers are responsible for what
PARASYMPATHETIC motor innervation to smooth muscle and glands of the head.
CN’s with GVE capabilities
III, VII, IX, X
Special Motor (Branchiomeric Motor BE)
motor to skeletal muscle in the head derived from branchial (pharyngeal arch) mesoderm
First Pharyngeal arch (mandibular arch) is innervated by
V3 mandibular
Second Pharyngeal Arch (hyoid arch) is innervated by
VII facial
Third Pharyngeal Arch is innervated by
IX Glossopharyngeal
Fourth and sixth pharyngeal arches
X Vagus
GSA Cell Bodies
DRG (Pseudounipolar)
GSE Cell Bodies
Ventral Horn of Spinal cord gray mater
SSA cell bodies are located
Peripheral Sensory Ganglia (eg. trigeminal and geniculate)
BE cell bodies are located
Brainstem motor nuclei (multipolar)
CN I and II have sensory function but are not associated with organized sensory ganglia (True or False)
True
Sensory neurons of CN I are located where
Diffusely dispersed in Olfactory bulb
