Question
Answer
How many pairs of cranial nerves are there?   12  
🗑
Except for one, cranial nerves serve only the?   Head and neck structures  
🗑
What are the nerves numbered with?   Roman numerals  
🗑
How can the names of the nerves be remembered?   "Oh, Oh, Oh, to touch and feel very good velvet, ah ah!"  
🗑
How can the you remember if the nerves are sensory, motor, or both?   "Some say marry money, but my brothers says bad business marry money"  
🗑
"Oh" Olfactory nerve (CNI)   Sensory nerve, carries afferent impulses for the sense of smell, and olfactory bulbs are located on the inferior surface of the frontal lobes  
🗑
"Oh" Optic nerve (CNII)   Sensory nerve, carries afferent impulses for vision, optic nerves converge to form the optic chiasma and then separates as the optic tracts  
🗑
"Oh" Oculomotor nerve (CNIII)   Motor nerve, inferior oblique muscle, superior rectus muscles, inferior rectus muscle, medial rectus muscle, and causes pupil constriction and controls lens shape for visual focusing  
🗑
"To" Trochlear nerve (CNIV)   motor nerve, motor to the superior oblique muscle (depresses the eye and turns to laterally), trochlear emerge from the dorsal surface of the midbrain

🗑
"Very" Vestibulocochlear nerve (CNVIII)   Sensory nerve, vestibular branch transmits afferent impulses for sense of equilibrium, cochlear branch transmits afferent impulses for sense of hearing  
🗑
"Good" Glossopharyngeal nerve (CNIX)   mixed nerve, motor to superior pharyngeal muscles, sensory to pharynx and posterior tongue  
🗑
"Velvet" Vagus nerve (CNX)   mixed nerve, supplies the thoracic and abdominal vicera, regulates heart rate, breathing, and digestive system activity, 1 exception not head or neck
