---|---|
Cranial Nerve I | Transmits the sense of smell |
Cranial Nerve II | Transmits visual information to the brain |
Cranial Nerve III | Innervates muscle which performs most eye movements |
Cranial Nerve IV | Innervates the superior oblique muscle, which depresses, pulls laterally, and intorts the eyeball |
Cranial Nerve V | Receives sensation from the face and innervates the muscles of mastication |
Cranial Nerve VI | Innervates the lateral rectus, which abducts the eye |
Cranial Nerve VII | Innervates muscles of facial expression and stapedius, sense of taste from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue, Innervates salivary(except parotid) and lacrimal gland; |
Cranial Nerve VIII | Senses sound, rotation and gravity (essential for balance & movement) |
Cranial Nerve IX | taste from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, secretomotor innervation to parotid gland, and provides motor innervation to the stylopharyngeus (essential for tactile, pain, and thermal sensation) |
Cranial Nerve X | Branchiomotor innervation to most laryngeal/pharyngeal muscles; sense of taste from epiglottis. Controls muscles for voice and resonance. Symptoms of damage: dysphagia |
Cranial Nerve XI | Controls muscles of the neck and overlaps with functions of the vagus. |
Cranial Nerve XII | Motor innervation to tongue and glossal muscles. Important for swallowing (bolus formation) and speech. |
