One result of fissure syndrome is that the person can have frequent blackout and bleeding from nose. For many people the conditions can be severe as well as can prove fatal. The…

3. A. Cranial nerve involvement can be broken down into two portions. The anterior 2/3 of the tongue are innervated by the Chorda Tympani branch of the Facial nerve which is carried by the lingual nerve which branches off the mandibular branch of the Trigeminal nerve. Sensory component of the anterior 2/3 is maintained by the lingual nerve. The posterior 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve which supplies both sensory and taste. B. The human tongue contains multiple…

human brain and brain stem contain eleven pairs of cranial nerves to the neck and head, and one pair of cranial nerves to the abdomen and thorax. Each cranial nerve is numbered by a Roman numeral and in sequential order from cranial to caudal: (I) olfactory nerve carries sensory information to the brain and is responsible for the nose; (II) optic nerve carries sensory information to the brain and is responsible for the eyes; (III) oculomotor carries motor commands from the brain and is…
