Cranial Nerves and Nuclei I and II Flashcards
Description of the functional groups
Definitions of the three names
A. The First Classification - General (G) or Special (S)
General- distributed throughout body
Special- site, hearing, taste, or smell
B. The Second Classification - Visceral (V) or Somatic (S)
Visceral- body organs
Somatic- somites, soma, body
Skin, muscle, joints
C. The Third Classification - Afferent (A) or Efferent (E)
Afferent- sensory
Efferent- movement

What is cranial nerve IX
Glossapharyngeal
What is cranial nerve X
Vagus
What is cranial nerve XI
Spinal accessory nerve
What is cranial nerve XII
Hypoglossal
What nerve(s) is responsible for innervation of the tongue?
Hypoglossal nerve
What nerve(s) is responsible for innervation of the SCM and Trapezious?
Spinal accessory nerve
What nerve(s) is responsible for baroreflex circuitry?
Glossopharyngeal nerve
What nerve(s) is responsible for visceral function?
Vagus nerve
What nerve(s) is responsible for extraocular eye movements?
- Oculomotor
2. Trochlear (Innervates only the superior oblique muscle), 3. Abducens (Innervates only the lateral rectus muscle)
What nerve(s) is responsible for sensory and motor innervation of the face and muscles of mastication?
Trigeminal nerve
What nerve(s) is responsible for innervation of muscle of facial expression?
Facial nerve
What nerve(s) is responsible for otolitic organs, semicircular canals, and hair cells?
Vestibular nerve CN VIII which is vestibulotrochlear aka auditory
What nerve(s) is responsible for cochler nuclei; central auditory pathway including colliculus, medial geniculate, and Heschl’s gyrus.
Cochlear nerve (says cranial nerve VII which is Facial … find out relationship)
What is a ganglion?
A group of cell bodies outside of the brain and spinal cord that houses neurons sensory or motor. It is the origin or target of fibers.
If in the brain or spinal cord it is called nuclei.
Note: Every cranial nerve that has a parasympathetic function has a ganglion associated with it that must synapse before going to its target organ. III, VII, IX, X
Which comes first, olfactory nerves or olfactory tracts?
Nerves come before tracts
CN I What is the functional component? Which foramen does it pass through? What structure(s) are innervated? What is the route?
- SVA
- Cribiform plate
- Olfactory nasal mucosa (smell)
- Olfactory nerves to cribiform plate, then to olfactory bulb and finally olfactory tract
Note: The only thing it is responsible for is smelling
CN II What is the functional component? Which foramen does it pass through? What structure(s) are innervated?
- SSA
- Optic Canal
- Rods and Cones of the retina (For seeing)
What is the attachment of the optic nerve?
Optic Chiasma
What is the name of the two retina associated with each eye? Which one crosses sides at the optic chiasm?
- Temporal Retina
- Nasal Retina
Nasal Retina (medial Retina) crosses the temporal does not. Because of this the visual field is directly opposite the physical location of the retina that records it.
