Cranial Nerves Flashcards
sensory functions are taste and touch by the tongue, the gag reflex, regulation of blood pressure, and respiration.
Motor functions are control of pharyngeal muscles in:
swallowing
speech
salivation
and
the gag reflex
glossopharyngeal nerve
mixed nerve originating in the pons and innervating the lateral rectus eye muscles
abducens nerve
Sensory function is to provide information on tongue movement,
Motor function is to control muscles involved in food manipulation, swallowing, and speech
Hypo-glossal nerve
sensory functions involve: sensations from the respiratory tract pharyngeal region external ear canal and of hunger and fullness Motor Functions include: controlling swallowing coughing speech and smooth muscles of the respiratory and digestive systems
Vagus
a mixed nerve originating in the brain and TERMINATES AT THE EYE
oculomotor
sensory functions are reception of taste stimuli from anterior two-thirds of the tongue and the position of face and scalp muscles
motor functions:
controlling facial expressions and secretions from the salivary glands
facial nerve
A mixed nerve originating in the medulla and the upper cervical portions of the spinal cord
accessory nerve
sensory nerve functioning in the sense of smell
olfactory nerve
sensory nerve involved in vision
optic nerve
Sensory function is to provide information on the position of the eye and the motor functions are:
lateral and inferior movement of the eye
trochlear nerve
sensory function is to transport information from various touch receptors on the face, motor function is chewing
trigeminal nerve
sensory function is to provide information on the position of the eye.
motor function is the lateral movement of the eye
abducens nerve
a mixed nerve originating in the inner ear and terminating in the thalamus
vestibulocochlear
Mixed nerve originating in the pons
It innervates the muscles of the face, scalp, neck, and salivary glands
facial nerve
sensory function is to provide information on the position of the muscles of the head neck and shoulders. motor functions include controlling those muscles and voluntary swallowing
accessory nerve
