Question
Answer
3 functions of cranial nerves   sensory, motor, parasympathetic  
🗑
sensory function   special (from specialized sense organs [eye, nose, ear, tongue]) or general (from everything else [touch, pain, pressure, temperature]) sensory information input  
🗑
motor function   somatic motor signals to skeletal muscles  
🗑
parasympathetic function   regulation of glands (sweat, saliva, tears), smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles  
🗑
proprioception   positional information of body parts that goes to the cerebellum to coordinate movement  
🗑
direction of cranial nerves   numbered from anterior to posterior  
🗑
other name for vestibulocochlear nerve   auditory nerve  
🗑
other name for accessory nerve   spinal accessory nerve (a portion or all of it may be evolutionarily derived from a spinal nerve  
🗑
cranial nerves (in correct order)   olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, abducens, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal  
🗑
mnemonic aid #1   on old olympus towering tops a famous vocal german viewed some hops  
🗑
mnemonic aid #2   oh, once one takes the anatomy final, very good vacations are heavenly!  
🗑
mnemonic aid #3   old opie occasionally tries trigonometry and feels very gloomy, vague, and hypoactive  
🗑
mnemonic aid for sensory and/or motor functions of cranial nerves   some say marry money but my brother says big business matters more  
🗑
olfactory (I) nerve function   sensory: smell, goes directly to the cerebrum, not through the thalamus  
🗑
optic (II) nerve function   sensory: sight (goes to eyeball)  
🗑
oculomotor (III) nerve function   motor: controls 4 of 6 eye muscles that move the eyeball in the orbit  
🗑
oculomotor (III) location   comes off the anterior side of the pons  
🗑
trochlear (IV) nerve function   motor: controls 1 of the 6 eye muscles  
🗑
trochlear (IV) appearance   thin and thread-like, hard to see  
🗑
trigeminal (V) nerve function   sensory: carries sensory info from the face, nasal cavity, cheeks, lips, oral cavity, skin of the mandible, and surface of the eye  
🗑
abducens (V!) nerve function   motor: goes to the last of the 6 eye muscles  
🗑
abducens (VI) location   between the pons and the medulla  
🗑
facial (VII) nerve function   sensory: carries taste info from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue  
🗑
vestibulocochlear (VIII) nerve function   sensory: carries info on hearing and balance  
🗑
glossopharyngeal (IX) nerve function (1)   sensory: carries info from the posterior 1/3 of tongue (taste), back of mouth, tonsils, and middle ear (where the ossicles are-- monitor the pressure here)  
🗑
glossopharyngeal (IX) nerve function (2)   motor: controls 1 muscle of the pharynx for swallowing  
🗑
vagus (X) nerve function (1)   sensory: carries info from the root of the tongue (taste), back of mouth, pharynx (throat), larynx (voicebox), thoracic, and abdominal organs  
🗑
vagus (X) nerve function (2)   motor: innervates muscles of the larynx and 1 muscle of the tongue  
🗑
vagus (X) nerve location   comes off the side of the medulla  
🗑
accessory (XI) nerve function   motor: goes to the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius  
🗑
hypoglossal (XII) nerve function   motor: controls the tongue and throat muscles (not exactly in the proper numeric sequence)  
🗑
