What are general somatic afferents?
Somatic sensation from skin and striated muscle (Temp, touch, general body sensations)
What are general visceral afferents?
Visceral sensation - deep organs (viscera and blood vessels)
What are general visceral efferents?
Visceromotor - Smooth muscle of the viscera, heart, salivary glands, etc.
What are general somatic efferents?
Somatomotor function - Motor to striated muscles
What are special somatic afferents?
Impulses from retina, auditory, and vestibular apparatuses
What are special visceral afferents?
Impulses from taste buds and olfactory mucosa
What are special visceral efferents?
Branchial motor - innervate striated muscles from branchial arches
CN I is part of the what? (Developmentally)

What happens at the optic chiasm?
Some optic fibers cross, and others do not.
Where does CN I exit the skull?
Cribiform foramina

CN III, IV, and VI can be lumped together as what?
Nn. that control ocular muscles.
CN III is what nerve?
Oculomotor
CN III controls what muscles?
All ocular except lat rectus and sup oblique
CN IV is what nerve?

What does CN IV control?
Motor to sup oblique
What is special about CN IV?
Only CN that emerges dorsally. All others are ventral
What is CN VI?

SOF
What does CN IV somatic motor control?
Sup oblique
What is special about CN IV’s nuclei?
They sit contralaterally while all the other CN’s sit ipsilaterally
The lateral rectus muscle does what and what innervates it?
