CN XII
hypoglossal
general
associated with a large area (body wall and limbs or viscera)
special
associasted with one organ or area (special sense)
somatic
striated muscle derived from somites
visceral
associated with GI tract either striated muscle derived from branchial arches or parasympathetic to smooth muscle and glands
afferent
sensory (impulse conduction toward brain)
efferent
motor (impulse conduction from brain)
afferents
GSA
GVA
SSA
SVA
general somatic afferent (GSA)
touch, temperature, pressure, pain, proprioception from body wall and limbs
general visceral afferent (GVA)
temperature, pressure, pain from viscera (GI tract)
special somatic afferent (SSA)
vision, hearing, balance
special visceral afferent (SVA)
smell, taste (the “chemical senses”, relating to eating)
efferents
GSE
SVE
GVE
general somatic efferent (GSE)
to striated muscles derived from somites = muscles of the eye (extraocular muscles) and the tongue
special visceral efferent (SVE)
to striated muscles dervied from branchial arches = muscles involved in eating and swallowing except for the tongue (i.e. muscles of facial expression, mastication, pharynx, and larynx)
general visceral efferent (GVE)
preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to smooth muscle and glands
mastication
arch 1, V3

arch 2, VII
pharyngeal muscle
arch 3, IX
muscles of pharynx and larynx
