Peripheral Nervous System Flashcards
CN I
Olfactory nerve
Sensory
Foramina of the Cribriform plate
sense of smell
CN II
Optic nerve
sensory
Optic canals
vision
CN III
Oculomotor nerve
Motor
Superior orbital fissure
intrinsic and extrinsic movements of the eye
Intrinsic muscles
involved in dilation and contraction of the iris
Extrinsic muscles
move the eye
CN IV
Trochlear nerve
motor
superior orbital fissure
extrinsic eye movement
CN V
Trigeminal nerve
Ophthalmic, Maxillary, Mandibular
carries both motor and sensory nerves
CN V1
Ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve
sensory
superior orbital fissure
lacrimal glands, cutaneous supply: forehead, nose, upper eyelid
CN V2
Maxillary Branch of trigeminal nerve
sensory
foramen rotundum
superior dental plexus, lateral scalp & nose, cheek, lower eyelid,upper lip
CN V3
Mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve
both sensory and motor
foramen ovale
supply sensation to the skin and mucosa of the cheek, and anterior 2/3 of the tongue and muscles of mastication, inferior dental plexus
CN VI
Abducent nerve
motor
superior orbital fissure
extrinsic muscle of eye movement (abducting the eye)
CN VII
