Cranial Nerve 1
Olfactory
use food
Cranial Nerve 2
Optic nerve
- Falling cotton ball test
- Pupillary light reflex
- Menace reflex
- Obstacle reflex
Cranial nerve 3
Oculomotorius check the pupil size anisorcia : uneven pupil size mydriasis : dilated moisis : constricted test together w. 4-trochlear and 6-abducens provocation of physiological nystagmus (move head around and check eye movements)
Cranial nerve 4
trochlear
cranial nerve 5
Trigeminal (mixed)
- palpebral reflex (blink n7)
- Corneal reflex (eyeball mvmt n6)
- food prehension/chewing/drinking
if disfunction:
repeated contraction of chewing muscles
sagging lower jaw
Cranial nerve 6
Abducens
Cranial nerve 7
Facialis (mixed) uni or bi lateral paralysis -palpebral reflex -corneal reflex -Menace reflex -blow on ears to see mvmt -sagging of ear/lip -nostril pulled to healthy side
Cranial nerve 8
Vestibulo cochlear
- Clapping behind head
- look for head tilt and ataxia
- Horner syndrome
Cranial nerve 9
Glossopharyngeal aff.
test w. Vagus
Cranial nerve 10
Vagus off.
-Swallowing/ gag reflex (reach base of tongue)
-laryngeal paralysie altered voice if unilateral
bilateral suffocation
Cranial nerve 11
Accessory nerve
Check neck muscles for atrophy or weakness signs
Cranial nerve 12
Hypoglossal
movability of tongue
small- give food (cat put drop of water on nose)- after eating will lick nose
bilateral lesion: tongue hangs out
unilateral: tongue hangs to damaged side
puncta maxima
Left side:
- 3rd ics. = pulmonary artery
- 4th intercostal space = Aorta
- 5th ics.=Bicuspid valve
Right side:
–4th intercostal space = tricuspid valve
