| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Optic nerve | carries visual information from special sensory receptors in the eyes |
| Oculomotor nerve | is the primary source of innervation for the extraocular muscles that move the eyeball |
| Trochlear Nerve | the smallest cranial nerve innervates the superior oblique muscle of the eye |
| Trigeminal nerve | the largest cranial nerve is a mixed nerve with ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular branches |
| Abducens nerve | innervates the sixth extrinsic oculomotor muscle, the lateral rectus |
| Facial nerve | is a mixed nerve that controls muscles of the scalp and face. It provides pressure sensations over the face and receives taste information from the tongue |
| Vestibulocochlear nerve | contains the vestivular nerve which monitors sensations of balance position and movements and the cochlear nerve which monitors hearing receptors |
| Glossopharhyngeal nerve | is a mixed nerve that innervates the tongue and pharynx and controls the action of swallowing |
| Vagus nerve | is a mixed nerve that is vital to the autonomic control of visceral function and has a variety of motor components |
| Accessory Nerve | has an internakl branch which innervates voluntary swallowing muscles of the soft palate and pharynx and external branch which controls muscles associated with the pectoral girdle |
| Hypoglossal nerve | provides voluntary motor control over tongue movements |
| Olfactory nerve | carries sensory information responsible for the sense of smell. The Olfactory afferent synapse with the olfactory bulbs |
