cranial nerves Flashcards
where does the cranial nerves start and end?
telencephalon and medulla
which two cranial nerves are not technically cranial nerves?
optic nerve
spinal accessory
which cranial nerves are in the forebrain?
olfactory
optic
which cranial nerves are in the midbrain?
oculomotor
trochlear
which cranial nerves are in the pons?
trigeminal
abducens
facial
auditory
which cranial nerves are in the medulla?
glossopharyngeal
vagus
spinal accessory
hypoglossal
- smell
- sensory special
- starts in the nose and runs to telencephalon
- connection to limbic system
- develops from a placode
olfactory
- sensory special
- vision
- connects the retinal ganglion axons to the brain
optic
where does the eye develop from?
diencephalon
- motor (somatic and visceral)
- one of 3 nerves which innervate the 6 extrinsic muscles of the eye
- move the eyeball
oculomotor
what are the extrinsic muscles of the eye that oculomotor connects with?
inferior oblique
medical rectus
inferior rectus
superior rectus
- innervate parts of the parasympathetic nervous system
- the ciliary muscles that change the shape of the lens and iris
- smooth muscle tissue
oculomotor visceral
- somatic motor only
- innervates the superoblique extrinsic muscle of the eye
- rotates eyeball downward and outward
trochlear
- somatic sensory and somatic motor
- first mixed nerve
- the motor portion innervates the striated muscles of the jaw
- the sensory portion is somatosensory and carries all temp/pain/touch/pressure input from the skin covering the face, forehead, and top of the head
trigeminal
- somatic motor
- innervates only the lateral rectus extrinsic muscles of the eye
- abducts the eyeball laterally and outward
abducens
- primarily somatic motor, but also visceral motor, small somatic sensory and special sense
- taste
facial
- innervates the striated muscles of the faces used for facial expression
- includes all the muscles of the face except for eye and jaw muscles
somatic motor
- innervates the tear ducts and 2 salivary glands
- sublingual and submaxillary glands
visceral motor
