Cranial Nerves Flashcards
Somatic motor function of vagus n.?
somatic motor - esophagus and mm. of larynx
Where does the hypoglossal n. emerge?
hypoglossal canal
What is the name of cranial nerve X?
vagus n.
Function of vestibulocochlear n.?
hearing and vestibular sensation (acceleration/gravity)
Function of the mandibular branch of Cr. n. V?
- motor - contraction of masticatory mm.
- sensory:
- buccal branch - inside of cheek
- Inferior alveolar branch - mandubular dental arcade
- Lingual branch - somatosensation to rostral 2/3 of tongue
What extraocular m. does NOT arise from around the orbital fissue?
m. obliquus ventralis (originates from dorsal border of orbit and inserts on the lateral aspect of the eye globe)
What Cr. nn. exits the braincase via the jugular foramen?
Cr. nn. IX, X, and XI
Motor or sensory? optic n.
sensory
Somatic motor function of glossopharyngeal n.?
pharyngeal swallowing mm.
Where does the vagus n. emerge?
jugular foramen (inside tympanooccipital fissure)
Motor or sensory? abducent n.
motor (somatic)
What is the name of cranial nerve VIII?
vestibulocochlear n.
What nn. emerge from the optical fissue?
Cr. n. III, IV, VI, and ophthalmic br. of V
What is the name of cranial nerve IV?
trochlear n.
Function of hypoglossal n.?
intrinsic and extrinsic mm. of tongue
Function of abducent n.?
extraocular mm. contraction (m. rectus lateralis and m. retractor bulbi)

- mandibular n.
Where does the oculomotor n. emerge?
orbital fissure (orbitorotundum foramen in BOV)
Function of the maxillary branch of Cr. n. V?
somatosensation to the face (from the maxilla dorsad, except small section by the eye)
Where does the optic n. emerge?
optic canal to eye globe (within periorbita)
What is the name of cranial nerve VI?
abducent n.
Motor or sensory? facial n.
both - sensory and motor (somatic and autonomic)
Motor or sensory? hypoglossal n.
motor (somatic)
Where does the vestibulocochlear n. emerge?
internal acoustic meatus, DOES NOT LEAVE THE SKULL
Motor or sensory? accessory n.
motor (somatic)
