olfactory nerve function
special sense of smell
which nerves transmit parasympathetic information
III, VII, IX, X
optic nerve function
special sense of vision
oculomotor nerve function
motor to most extraocular muscles, parasympathetic to pupillary sphincter and ciliary eye muscles
trochlear nerve function
motor to superior oblique muscle of eye
abducens nerve function
motor to lateral rectus muscle of eye
vestibulocochlear nerve function
special sense of hearing and balance
glossopharyngeal nerve function
sensory to posterior 1/3 of tongue, palate, oropharynx (afferent gag reflex), motor to pharynx, special sense of taste from posterior 1/3 of tongue, parasympathetic to parotid gland
