Cranial Nerves Flashcards
Nuclei and function of CN III
Oculomotor- somatomotor
WE- GVM (parasympathetic)
Branches and innervation of III
Superior branch- levator palpabrae, superior rectus
Inferior branch- inferior rectus, inferior oblique, medial rectus
Nuclei and function of CN V
Principle sensory- GSS (epicritic)
Spinal- GSS (protopathic)
Mesensephalic- GSS (proprioceptive)
Motor- BM (brachiomotor)
