Cranial Nerves

QuestionAnswer
goes through cribiform plate of ethmoid bone olfactory
goes through optic canal optic
goes through superior orbital fissure oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal (V1), abducens
goes through foramen rotundum trigeminal (V2)
goes through foramen ovale trigeminal (V3)
goes through auditory canal facial and vestibulocochlear
goes through jugular foramen glossopharyngeal, vagus, spinal accessory
goes through hypoglossal foramen hypoglossal
axons transverse cribiform plate of ethmoid bone, travels from bulbs via tracts to sulcus to reach processing centers, sensory olfactory
carries visual info from retina back to brain, portion of visual pathway beyond this is referred to as the optic tract, sensory, nerves cross optic
innervation to extraocular eye muscles, motor oculomotor
motor innervation to lateral rectus m. abducens
motor innervation to superior oblique m. trochlear
has 3 branches, exits the brainstem and enters a small fossa just post. and inferolateral to the cavernous sinus called "Meckel's cave" trigeminal
division of trigeminal; sensory; enters the orbit; branches are supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves, infratrochlear n., and lacrimal n. opthalamic (V1)
division of trigeminal; sensory; distributes sensory branches to orbit, nasal cavity, pharynx, and oral cavity maxillary (V2)
division of trigeminal; sensory and motor; mucous membrane and floor of oral cavity, external ear, lower lip, chin, ant. 2/3 of tongue, lower teeth, gingiva, muscles of mastication mandibular (V3)
sensory and motor, travels in the auditory canal alongside vestibulocochlear, takes a turn into facial canal in temporal bone and eventually exits via stylomastoid foramen, muscles of facial expression, chorda tympani is branch, 5 branches, stapedius m. facial
temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular, cervical branches of facial
sensory, enters int. auditory meatus with facial and travels in auditory canal of temporal bone to reach cochlea and vestibular organs, balance and hearing, branches are cochlear n. and vestibular n. vestibulocochlear
sensation for post. tongue and pharynx, motor portion supplies stylopharyngeus m., innervates parotid gland, taste for post. 1/3 of tongue glossopharyngeal
sensory and motor; largest portion innervates heart, lungs, and digestive tract; motor compartment controls nearly all pharyngeal and upper esophageal muscles and all muscles of larynx via recurrent laryngeal a. vagus
motor, does not arise from brainstem but rather upper 5 or 6 segments of spinal cord, motor innervation to sternocleidomastoid and trapezius spinal accessory
motor, provides innervation to almost all intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of tongue and intrinsic musculature of larynx hypoglossal
which travels through two foramina in cranial fossa spinal accessory
which has the longest length and comes from post. brainstem trochlear
travels ant. to olive on medulla oblongata hypoglossal
responsible for feeling temp. on ant. part of tongue mandibular (V3)
gag reflex and sensation on post. aspect of tongue glossopharyngeal
lesion causes hoarseness and loss of sensation to mucosa of infraglottic space vagus
