Question
Answer
Cranial nerve I.   Olfactory / Sensory  
🗑
Cranial nerve II.   Optic / Sensory  
🗑
Cranial nerve III.   Oculomotor / Motor  
🗑
Cranial nerve IV.   Trochlear / Motor  
🗑
Cranial nerve V.   Trigeminal / Both Sensory and Motor  
🗑
Cranial nerve VI.   Abducens / Motor  
🗑
Cranial nerve VII.   Facial / Both Sensory and Motor  
🗑
Cranial nerve VIII.   Vestibulocochlear (Auditory) / Sensory  
🗑
Cranial nerve IX.   Glossopharyngeal / Both Sensory and Motor  
🗑
Cranial nerve X.   Vagus / Both Sensory and Motor  
🗑
Cranial nerve XI.   (Spinal) Accessory / Motor  
🗑
Cranial nerve XII.   Hypoglossal / Motor  
🗑
In addition to purely sensory and motor nerves, cranial nerves also contain   ...sensory proprioceptive fibers in their motor neural pathways  
🗑
olfactory signals are ultimately processed by   ... the thalamus and frontal lobe.  
🗑
The olfactory nerves are   sensory nerves associated with smell.  
🗑
Optic nerves are   sensory nerves related to vision.  
🗑
Ultimately, optic nerve signals are processed by   the visual cortex that is located in the occipital lobe and by specialized optic reflex centers located in the midbrain region.  
🗑
Oculomotor nerves are   mixed sensory and motor nerves that innervate and help control some of the intrinsic and extrinsic eye muscles.  
🗑
Parasympathetic fibers of the oculomotor nerves serve to   control the contractions of the iris that, in turn regulate dilation and constriction of the pupil.  
🗑
Fibers of the oculomotor nerve also help to   control muscles that shape the lens of the eye  
🗑
The trochlear cranial nerves are   mixed sensory and motor nerves that innervate the superior oblique muscles of the eye  
🗑
The trigeminal nerves are   the major sensory nerves of the face  
🗑
The trigeminals derive their name from   the fact that each has three major branches, the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves.  
🗑
The ophthalmic and maxillary nerves are   sensory nerves.  
🗑
The mandibular nerve is   a mixed nerve containing both sensory and motor tracts.  
🗑
The trigeminal nerve is important to   the control of chewing (mastication).  
🗑
The abducens cranial nerves   (provide a motor pathway that innervates the lateral rectus muscles and thereby) regulate abduction of the eye.  
🗑
The facial nerves are   mixed sensory and motor cranial nerves that service the facial area.  
🗑
Facial cranial nerves also carry   sensory taste related signals from the frontal (or anterior) regions of the tongue.  
🗑
The acoustic nerves (or vestibulocochlear), via their vestibular and cochlear sensory branches, provide   a neural pathway to relay sound and pressure induced stimuli (sound waves are pressure waves) from the inner ear to the bain.  
🗑
The acoustic nerves also provide   critical information needed to maintain balance  
🗑
The glossopharyngeal cranial nerves   motor: responsible for swallowing, and sensory relay taste stimuli from back or posterior regions of the tongue.  
🗑
Glossopharyngeal cranial nerves also provide neural pathways that play a role in   the regulation of respiration and blood pressure and respiration  
🗑
The vagus cranial nerves provide   parasympathetic innervation to the heart, bronchi, stomach, intestines, and other thoracic and abdominal visceral parasympathetic effectors  
🗑
Spinal accessory cranial nerves   join with spinal nerves to innervate motor pathways of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles  
🗑
The hypoglossal cranial nerves provide   motor pathways to muscles related to swallowing.  
🗑
Cranial nerves are   nerves that emerge from the brainstem instead of the spinal cord.  
🗑
Cranial nerves - sensory/motor/both mnemonics   Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Bad Business Marry Money  
🗑
Cranial nerves - names mnemonics   Ooh, Ooh, Ooh To Touch And Feel Virgin Girls Vaginas, Ahh Heaven!  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
