Largest Cranial Nerve
Trigeminal (V)
Chief motor nerves of the face with 5 major branches
Facial (VII)
Innervates part of the tongue and pharynx for swallowing, and provides parasympathetic fibers to the parotid salivary glands
Glossopharyngeal (IX)
Cranial Nerve leave skull via
Optic Foramen
What has cranial and spinal root?
Accessory (XI)
Arises from the olfactory receptor cells of the nasal cavity
Oflactory (I)
Rootlets pass into the cranium via each foramen magnum
Accessory XI
Sensory fibers carry impulses from taste buds of epiglottis and pharynx
Vagus X
Passes through the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone
Olfactory (I)
Innervates the superior oblique muscle
Trochlear IV
Carries afferent fibers from the hearing and equilibrium receptors
Vestibulocochlear VIII
Innervates extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue that contribute to swallowing and speech
Hypoglossal XII
The only cranial nerves that extend beyond the head and neck region
Vagus X
Carries taste fibers from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue
Facial VII
fibers conduct taste and general sensory impulses (touch) from the pharynx and posterior tongue
Glossopharyngeal IX
Most motor fibers are parasympathetic fibers that help regulate the activities of the heart, lungs, and abdominal viscera
Vagus X
Formed from ventral rootlets from the C1 to C5 region of the spinal cord
Accessory XI
Exits the skull via the hypoglossal canal
