Modality - Nucleus - Associated Nerves - Function - Associated Foramens:
Somatic Cranial Nerves
- somatic
- oculomotor, trochlear, abducens, hypoglossal
- III, IV, VI, XII
4.
Oculomotor: all extraocular muscle except superior obliques and lateral rectus
Trochlear: superior obliques
Abducens: lateral rectus
hypoglossal: intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles except for palatoglossus
Modality - Nucleus - Associated Nerves - Function - Associated Foramens:
Brachial Motor
- Brachial motor: defferent
- Masticator nucleus receive CN V,
facial motor nuclei receives facial nerve (VII)
ambiguous nucleus receives CNIX and CNX
accessory nucleus receive CNXI - Masticator: muscles of mastication, all facial muscles, muscles of pharynx and larynx, trapezius and sternomastoid
Modality - Nucleus - Associated Nerves - Function - Associated Foramens:
Visceral motor (parasympathetic)
- visceral motor (parasympathetic)
- Edinger-Westphal (III), Super salivatory (VII), Inferior salivatory (IX), dorsal vegus (X)
- Edinger-Westphal: ciliary muscles + constrictor pupillae
Superior Salivatory: all glands of the head except integumentary and parotid
Inferior salivatory: parotid gland
Dorsal vegus: all thoracic and abdominal viscera
