Motor; intrinistic and extrinisic tongue muscles
Olfactory test
Sniff and identify object
Optic test
Eyechart; move finger into visual field
Oculomotor test
Light to the eye; follow object with eyes
Trochlear test
Follow object with eyes
Trigeminal test
Pain, touch, temperature, corneal reflex with a wisp of cotton, motor branch helps move jaw
