Olfactory
which CN passes through foramina in cribriform plate to olfactory bulbs
Olfactory nerve
what does an injury to the olfactory nerve do?
causes loss of smell
identify the CN whose primary function is special sensory (vision)
Optic nerve
Which CN passes through the optic canal (sphenoid), crosses at the optic chiasm, and travels to the thalamus
Optic nerve
What might a person loose if they injure their optic nerve
loss of sight
identify what part of the optic nerve are reorganized axons that continue to lateral geniculate body of the thalamus
Optic tracts
Identify the CN whose primary function is motor (eyemovments)
oculomotor
Identify the CN whose origin is at the midbrain
oculomtor
Injury to this CN causes pain over the eye, double vision, (inability to coordinate eye movments)
