What are the functions of CN VII
Facial
MOTOR: Facial expression, reflexive eye closing on touch and contraction of ossicles for protection
VISCERAL MOTOR: induces salivation, secretion from lacrimal and mucous glands of nose and mouth
SENSORY: taste from anterior 2/3 of tongue and info from back of ear and external auditory meatus
What are the functions of CN IX?
Glossopharyngeal
SOMATIC MOTOR: elevation of upper pharynx during speech and swallowing
VISCERAL SENSORY: Responds to changes in blood pressure, via stretch from carotid sinus baroreflex
SOMATIC SENSORY: posterior 1/3 of tongue
What are the functions of CN X
Vagus
VISCERAL MOTOR: speech production
VISCERAL SENSORY: Reflexes like peristalsis, vomit, gastric and bronchial secretions, regulates heart rate
