Order of Cranial Nerves |
OOOTTAFVGVAH |
|
I. Olfactory |
Sensory. Nose to Olfactory bulbs in cortex. Disorder = Anosmia |
|
II. Optic |
Sensory. Optic nerve to Optic chiasma to thalamus to cortex. Disorder = Anopsia (blindness) |
|
III. Oculomotor |
Motor. Origin = midbrain. Controls dilation and moves eye. Test = pupils. Disorder = lateral strabismus |
|
IV. Trochlear |
Motor. Midbrain. Test = pupils. Disorder = double vision |
|
V. Trigeminal |
Both. Ophthalmic (superior orbital fissure to pons) Maxillary (foramen ovale to pons) Mandibular (foramen ovale to pons) Test = pain in face. Disorder = Tic Douloreux |
|
VI. Abducens |
Motor. Pons to SO Fissure. Test = pupils. Disorder = Internal strabismus |
|
VII. Facial |
Both. Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Mandibular, Cervical. Origin = Pons to acoustic meatus to face. Test = taste buds. Disorder = Bells Palsy |
|
VIII. Vestibulocochlear |
Sensory. 2 nerves combined: vestibular and cochlear. Origin = the two nerves to acoustic meatus to pons. Test = Hearing. Disorder = deafness or imbalance |
|
IX. Glossopharyngeal |
Both. Origin = Medulla to jugular foramen to throat. Test = gag, speak, cough. Disorder = swallowing |
|
X. Vagus |
Both. Largest nerve. Origin = Medulla to jugular foramen to thorax/abdomen. Function = motor, swallowing, heart, breath, abdomen sensory. Test = gag, speak, cough. Disorder = hoarseness, swallowing, death |
|
XI. Accessory |
Motor. Origin = Cranial + spinal roots. Function = shrugging. Test = shrugging. Disorders = shrugging and turning head. |
|
XII. Hypoglossal |

|
5 Stimulus Receptor Types |
Mechano, Thermo, Photo, Chemo, Noci |
|
Receptor Location Types |
Exteroceptors, Interceptors and Proprioceptors |
|
Complexity of receptor types |
Simple (most abundant) : free nerve endings. Pain, temp, Merkel disc, hair follicle Complex: Encapsulated. Most mechanoreceptors, exteroceptors, Meissner's Corpuscles, Pacinian Corpuscles, Ruffini Corpuscles, muscle spindles, golgi tendons |
|
Transduction |
Conversion of receptor and generator potential to action potential |
|
Tonic Receptors |
Adapt extremely slow Ex. Pain and Proprioceptors |
|
Phasic Receptors |
