Q

olfactory nerve function

A

sensory -> smell

31
Q

optic nerve function

A

sensory -> vision

32
Q

occulomotor nerve function

A

motor = skeletal and autonomic
GSM: 4 extrinsic eye muscles and levator palpebrae superioris
GVM: pupillary sphincter

33
Q

trochlear nerve function

A

motor = skeletal
Superior oblique muscle of eye

34
Q

opthalamic nerve function

A

sensory
Scalp, forehead and nose.

35
Q

maxillary nerve function

A

sensory
Cheeks, lower eye lid, nasal mucosa, upper lip, upper teeth and palate.

36
Q

mandibular nerve function

A

sensory and motor
GSS: anterior 2/3 tongue, skin over mandible and lower teeth
SVM: muscles of mastication.

37
Q

abducens nerve function

A

motor = skeletal
Lateral rectus

38
Q

facial nerve function

A

sensory and motor
GSS: sensation to part of ext. ear.SVS: taste from ant. 2/3 tongue, hard and soft palate.
SVM: muscles of facial expression.
GVM: lacrimal, submandibular, sublingual glands and mucous glands of mouth and nose.

39
Q

vestibulocochlear nerve function

A

sensory
hearing and balance

40
Q

glossopharangeal nerve function

A

motor and sensory
GSS: post. 1/3 tongue, ext. ear, and middle ear cavity.GVS: carotid body and sinus.
SVS: taste from post. 1/3 tongue.
GVM: parotid gland.
SVM: stylopharyngeus

41
Q

vagus nerve function

A

sensory and motor
GSS: ext. ear, larynx and pharynx.GVS: larynx, pharynx and, thoracic & abdominal viscera.
SVS: taste from epiglottis region of tongue
GVM: smooth muscles of pharynx, larynx and most of the GIT.
SVM: most muscles of pharynx and larynx.

42
Q

spinal accessory nerve function

A

motor = skeletal + pharangeal
GSM: trapezius and sternocleidomastoid.
SVM: a few fibres run with CNX to viscera.

43
Q

hypoglossal nerve function

A

motor = skeletal
Intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles (except the palatoglossus).

44
Q

rules of cranial nerves

A
  1. Nuclei are approximately located at the level of where the nerve itself emerges but are drawn on the dorsal surface.
  2. Each sub-function (Motor, Sensory, Autonomic) must associate with a different nucleus
  3. Motor is medial, and sensory is lateral (autonomic in between)
45
Q

where do optic nerves cross?

A

optic chiasm

46
Q

anatomical course of oculomotor nerve

A

oculomotor nucleus (midbrain) -> superior orbital fissure

47
Q

motor functions of superior branch of oculomotor nerve

A

Superior rectus – elevates the eyeball
Levator palpabrae superioris – raises the upper eyelid.

48
Q

motor functions of inferior branch of oculomotor nerve

A

Inferior rectus – depresses the eyeball
Medial rectus – adducts the eyeball
Inferior oblique – elevates, abducts and laterally rotates the eyeball

49
Q

structures recieving parasympathetic innervation from the oculomotor nerve

A

Sphincter pupillae – constricts the pupil, reducing the amount of light entering the eye.
Ciliary muscles – contracts, causes the lens to become more spherical, and thus more adapted to short range vision
