Week 7: Cranial nerves Flashcards
Cranial nerves that arise from the cerebrum
only the first 2: olfactory and optic
Majority of cranial nerves arise from
brain stem: CN III-XII

function of CN I
- Olfactory
* special sense of smell
function of CN II
- Optic
* special sense of vision
function of CN III
- Occulomotor
- motor to most extraocular muscles of eye
- parasympathetic to pupillary sphincter and ciliary muscle to eye
function of CN IV
- Troclear (smallest CN)
* motor to superior oblique muscle of eye
function of CN V
- Trigeminal (largest CN)
* has 3 divisions: opthalmic division, maxillary division, and mandibular division
function of CN V1
- Opthhalmic division of CN V
* sensory to scalp, forehead, nose, cornea and conjunctiva of eye
function of CN V2
- Maxillary division of CN V
* sensory to cheeks, lower eye lid, nasal mucosa, upper lip, upper teeth, and palate
function of CN V3
- Mandibular division of CN V
- sensory to anterior 2/3 of tongue, chin, and lower teeth
- motor to muscles of mastication
function of CN VI
- Abducens
* motor to lateral rectus muscle of eye
