1. Cranial Nerves

4. Inferior surface of the brain as it appears on gross dissection.

6. The Olfactory nerve (I) – for sense of smell.
Nerves in nasal cavity synapse within olfactory bulbs.

7. The Optic nerve (II) - carries visual information.

8. The Oculomotor nerve (III) - Controls 4 of
the 6 extrinsic muscles of the eye.
The Trochlear nerve (IV)
Innervates superior oblique eye muscle.

9. The Trigeminal nerve (V)
Largest of all the
cranial nerves
Has 3 Branches
1) Ophthalmic branch
skin, lacrimal gland
2) Maxillary branch
lower eyelid, upper jaw
3) Mandibular branch
tongue, lower teeth

10. The Abducens nerve (VI)
Innervates lateral rectus muscle of eye (abduction!)
The Facial nerve (VII)
Controls muscles of scalp and facial expression.
Muscles of mastication and speech.
Pressure sensations from face.
Taste sensations from anterior 2/3 of tongue.

11. The Facial nerve (VII)

12. The Vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
Monitors sense of balance, position and movement and also monitors hearing.

13. The Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)
Taste sensation
from posterior
1/3 tongue.
Controls swallowing
Detects O2 and CO2
content of blood
in carotid artery.

14. The Vagus nerve (X)
Vital to autonomic control of visceral function

15. The Accessory nerve (XI)
Internal branch
Innervates swallowing muscles.
External branch
Controls sternocleidomastoid and trapezius.
The Hypoglossal nerve (XII)
Voluntary food mixing, swallowing and speech.
Control of tongue movements.
