CN II Optic nerve
CN III Oculomotor nerve
CN IV Trochlear nerve
CN V Trigeminal nerve
CN VI Abducens nerve
CN VII facial nerve
CN VIII Vestibulocochlear (Acoustic) nerve
CN IX Glossopharyngeal nerve
CN X Vagus nerve
CN XI Spinal Accessory nerve
CN XII Hypoglossal nerve
On old olympus towering tops a Fin and german vending a hops olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, spinal accesory, hypoglossal.
Which CN carries impulses for smell? CN I- olfactory
Which CN carries impulses for vision? CN II- Optic
Which CN controls eyeball, eyelid, iris, ciliary body and sensory to brain from extraocular muscles? CN III-oculomotor
Which CN controls superior oblique muscles of the eye? CN IV- trochlear
What CN is involved in motor and sensory for face & conducts impulses from mouth, nose, surface of eye and dura mater? It also stimulates chewing muscles? CN V- Trigeminal
What CN contains motor and proprioceptor fibers to lateral rectus muscle? CN VI- abducens
What CN carries sensory fibers from taste buds of anterior part of tongue? CN VII Facial
What CN is involved in facial expression? CN VII facial
The facial nerve is involved with facial expression,anterior taste buds, and.... supplies motor fibers to muscles of lacrimal and salivary glands.
Which CN is involved in hearing and equilibrium? VIII vestibulocochlear
what is the other name for the vestibulocochlear nerve? VIII acoustic- tested with tuning fork
which CN is involved with the posterior taste buds of the tongue? IX Glossopharyngeal nerve
Which CN is associated with motor fibers that serve the throat & salivary glands, sensory fibers that serve pharnyx back taste buds, and pressure receptors for carotid artery? IX Glossopharyngeal nerve
Which CN is carries sensory & motor impulses for pharnyx and is largely parasympathetic motor fibers that serve ABD organs smooth muscle? Also receives sensory imulses from viscera. X vagus
Word association= V- visceral V- vagus
What CN carries motor fibers to tongue and sensory from tongue to brain? XII- Hypoglossal
Provides sensory & motor fibers to sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles? XI- spinal accessory
Also provides motor & sensory fibers to muscles of soft palate pharynx, and larynx. XI- spinal accessory
cranial nerves are categorized as peripheral nerves
Cramial nerves arise from... nuclei in the brain and brain stem
Take a sniff and test your... olfactory nerve
Take a look at my eye chart and my finger to test your... optic nerve
Your pupils will teach me a thing or 2 about your oculomotor nerve ( ability to follow moving objects tests also)
Follow my finger and poof... your trochlear is being tested. ( similar testing to CN III)
Trigeminal tested by corneal reflex, motor branch test
3 CN tested in similar way by following objects with eye laterally. whic R they? III, IV, VI
Stick out your tongue and say ahhhhh.... hmmm checking your hypoglossal. look for position abnormalities of tongue
IX and X are tested in common by... checking gag & swallow reflexes. speak & cough. FOr IX posterior of tongue may check taste buds.
Facial check check- anterior taste buds, face symmetry Do- close eyes, smile, whistleetc. tearing test.
spinal accessory checked by rotate head and shrug shoulders against resistance
