What is the olfactory nerve for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
Smell (sensory)
What is the optic nerve for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
sight (sensory)
What is the occulomotor for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
moving eyelids, eyeballs, adjusting pupils (motor)
What is the trochlear nerve for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
Eye movement (motor)
What is the trigeminal nerve for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
Sensation to face (touch, pressure, pain)
Moving facial muscles and allows for chewing (Mastication).
BOTH S & M
What is the abducens for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
Moving the eyeballs (motor) - abducts the eye
What is the facial nerve for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
For taste anterior ⅔ tongue (sensory) and to form facial expressions (motor)
BOTH S & M
What is the Vestibulocochlear nerve for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
Balance (semi circular canal) and Auditory/Hearing (cochlea)
SENSORY
What is the glassopharyngeal nerve for?
Swallowing by triggering stylopharyngeus that lifts the pharynx (Motor),
saliva production, taste (posterior third of tongue) (Sensory)
BOTH M & S
What is the vagus nerve for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
Controls peripheral nervous system
Motor
Supplies pharynx and velar muscles (for swallowing)
larynx (for voice/sound)
Sensory
(touch, pressure, pain) from the larynx and pharyngeal region as well as from the ear drum and external ear.
What is the accessory muscle for? Is it sensory, motor or both?
Movement of head and shoulders, allows for swallowing. (motor)
