CRANIAL NERVES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS (matching) Flashcards
What are the sensory only nerves?(3)
Olfactory
Optic
Vestibulocochlear
What are the motor only nerves?(5)
Oculomotor Trochlear Abducens Accessory Hypoglossal
What are the mixed nerves? (both sensory and motor)(4)
Trigeminal
Facial
Glossopharyngeal
Vagus
Sensory: Smell
Olfactory
Sensory: Vision
Optic
Motor: Eye Movement Control of most (4 of 6) eye muscles
Oculomotor
Parasympathetic: Focusing for near vision—Contraction of ciliary muscles to alter lens shape; Pupil constriction
Oculomotor
Motor: Inferolateral eye movement (superior oblique muscle)
Trochlear
Sensory: To all of face; 3 Branches: Ophthalmic, Maxillary, Mandibular
Trigeminal
Motor: Mastication (chewing) muscles—Mandibular branch only
Trigeminal
Motor: Lateral eye movement (lateral rectus muscle)
Abducens
*5 Branches: Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Mandibular, Cervical
Facial
Motor: Skeletal muscles of facial expression
Facial
Sensory: Taste of anterior 2/3 of tongue
Facial
Passes through auditory canal.
Middle ear infections can cause
inflammation that results in temporary
taste loss
Facial
_____________ & FACIAL NERVES:Sound Attenuation Reflex—Dampens loud noises by controlling vibration of eardrum
Trigeminal
Sensory:
1) Vestibular nerve: Balance (equilibrium)
Vestibulocochlear
Sensory:
2) Cochlear nerve: Hearing
Vestibulocochlear
Sensory:Taste of posterior 1/3 of tongue
Glossopharyngeal
Sensory:Sensation of tongue & pharynx
Glossopharyngeal
Sensory:Baroreception: Blood pressure adjustments (short-term) are made using stretch receptors in neck arteries
Glossopharyngeal
Sensory:Chemoreception: Respiratory rate adjustments
are made by monitoring CO2 levels
Glossopharyngeal
Motor: Tongue & pharynx for swallowing
Glossopharyngeal
Baroreception & chemoreception info. is
sent by these two nerves to the medulla, which
responds, making changes to correct any
problems.
Glossopharyngeal
Vagus
