Cranial nerves and Spinal nerves Flashcards
How many cranial muscles
12
Olfactory nerve 1
Sensory nerve for smell
On the ethmoid bone
No muscles innervations
Optic nerve 2
Sensory nerve for vision/ sight
Transfer visual information
Oculomotor nerve 3
Motor nerve for eye movement
Innervates the following muscles:
Medial Rectus, Superior Rectus, Inferior Rectus, Inferior Oblique and Levator Palpebrae Superioris.
Pupil constriction and accommodation
Trochlear Nerve 4
Motor nerve for eye movements
Innervates the superior oblique muscle
Trigeminal Nerve 5
Mixed nerve for sensation of the face and control of chewing movements
Innervated with muscles of mastication

Anterior belly of digastric muscle
Has mandibular division, maxillary division and ophthalmic division.
Abducens Nerve 6
Motor nerve for eye movements
Innervate with the lateral rectus muscle
Facial Nerve 7
Mixed nerve for sensation of taste and control of expressions, facial secretions
Innervates with temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular and cervical muscles
Lacrimal and salivary glands
Vestibulocochlear nerve 8
Sensory nerve for hearing and equilibrium
Attached to cochlear
Glossopharyngeal Nerve 9
Mixed nerve with diverse sensory and motor functions for head, neck, and thorax.
Innervates with stylopharyngeus muscle
Posterior third of the tongue
Vagus nerve 10
Mixed nerve for taste, gastrointestinal, swallowing, sensation, and control of various organs.
Heart: Slows the heart rate.
Lungs: Constricts the bronchi.
Digestive Tract: Stimulates peristalsis and secretion.
Other: Innervates glands and smooth muscles in the thorax and abdomen.

Functions of spinal cord
Conduction- sensory information ascends and motor commands descend
Neural integration- processing of info from interneurons
Locomotion- coordinate simple repetitive movements
Reflexes- Involuntary stereotyped responses to stimuli
