Cranial Nerves
Cranial Nerve 1: Olfactory Nerve
Cranial Nerve II: Optic Nerve
Cranial Nerves III, IV, VI: Oculomotor, Trochlear, Abducens Nucleus in midbrain Innervates 4 extraocular muscles and functions in most eye movements Contains parasympathetic which innervates pupillary constrictor muscles and ciliary muscle of lens. Trochlear Nerve exits dorsal surface and crosses over Moves eye medially and downward Abducens Nucleus in pons Moves eye laterally

Cranial Nerve V: Trigeminal Nerve Trigeminal ganglion Ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular divisions Sensory: Touch, pain, temp, proprioception for face, oral and nasal cavities. Motor: Muscles for mastication.
Cranial Nerve V: Trigeminal Nerve V1. Ophthalmic Exits with eye muscle group (superior orbital fissure, through orbit to superior orbital notch/foramina) Sensory to forehead, nasal cavity V2. Maxillary Exits foramen rotundum through wall of maxillary sinus to inferior orbital foramina) Sensory to cheek, upper lip, teeth, nasal cavity V3. Mandibular Exits foramen ovale to mandibular foramen to mental foramen Motor to jaw muscles-Masseter, temporalis, pterygoids, digastric Sensory to chin Taste Sensory to tongue (from facial N.) 16

Cranial Nerve VII: Facial Nerve Motor function: muscles of facial expression. Parasympathetic function: innervation to lacrimal glands and some salivary gland. Visceral sensory function: taste from anterior 2/3 of tongue
Cranial Nerve VII: Facial Nerve 15
Cranial Nerve VIII: Vestibulocochlear Nerve Auditory and vestibular sensation Travels with facial nerve Branches go to cochlea, vestibule
Vestibular and Cochlear Sensory Organs
Cranial Nerve X: Vagus Nerve Motor function: pharyngeal muscles & laryngeal muscles Parasympathetic function: heart, lungs, most if digestive tract. Somatic sensation function: sensation from pharynx, meninges, external auditory meatus
Cranial Nerve IX: Glossopharyngeal Nerve Motor function: stylopharyngeus muscle which elevates pharynx during talking and swallowing. Parasympathetic function: innervation of parotid salivary gland.
Cranial Nerve XI: Spinal Accessory Nerve
Cranial Nerve XII: Hypoglossal Nerve 10
