Oculomotor nerve (nerve iii); Superior oblique; lateral rectus

Glossopharyngeal; Posterior one-third; palate
The ninth cranial nerve that has motor, sensory, and __________ components
Glossopharyngeal; Autonomic
What are the three kinds of cranial nerves?
purely sensory (afferent); purely motor (efferent); mixed (sensory and motor)

Smell
This cranial nerve is responsible for the movement of the SCM (___________________)
Spinoaccessory; (nerve xi); sternocleidomastoid
What are the six important muscles that move the eye?

Trigeminal = "___________ ___________" (collection of gray matter)
Three nuclei
Glosso- : __________ -___________ : pharynx
Tongue; Pharyngeal
Which cranial nerve is the largest?
Trigeminal (nerve v)
This cranial nerve controls mastication or _____________
Trigeminal (nerve v); chewing
A condition of the trigeminal nerve (fiery sensation to one side of your face)
Trigeminal neuralgia
The superior oblique muscle is controlled by which cranial nerve?
Trochlear (nerve iv)
Eye condition wherein the eye has an upward and inward gaze
Trochlear nerve palsy
The sternocleidomastoid allows you to
Turn your head
This is the longest cranial nerve
Vagus (CN X)
Responsible for the sensation of the pharynx and partially responsible for the motor part of the pharynx
Vagus (nerve x)
System in the inner ear that controls balance
Vestibular system
The hearing and balance nerve
Vestibulocochlear (nerve viii)
A lesion in the optic chiasm causes
bitemporal hemianopsia
Oculomotor nerve is responsible for how many eye muscles (and which are they), as well as the control of what?
4; superior rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique, medial rectus; Opening the rye (lifting the eyelids
Oculomotor : _____________ ; Trochlear : ___________ ; Abducens : __________
Moves the eyes; Pulley; Abduction
How many pairs of cranial nerves are there?
12 pairs
Purely Motor Cranial Nerves
3 = Oculomotor 4 = Trochlear 6 = Abducens 11 = Spinal Accessory 12 = Hypoglossal
How many kinds of cranial nerves are there?
3 kinds
The lateral rectus is controlled by which cranial nerve?
Abducens (nerve vi)
Eye condition wherein trying to move the eye outward doesn't move the eye. The eye remains centered
Abducens nerve palsy
Condition associated with the facial nerve. This condition is idiopathic and self-limiting.
Bell's palsy
A condition wherein you lose your peripheral vision in both eyes
Bitemporal hemianopsia
A lesion behind the eyeball results to
Blindness
Damage to the visual cortex AKA ____________ or the occipital lobe results to _______ vision of each eye
Calcarine; Half
The __________ part of your vision is mostly preserved until the rest of the occipital lobe is damaged.
Center
Structure in the inner ear responsible for hearing
Cochlea
The action of the vagus nerve on your guys is part of the reason why you feel _______
Emotions
The trigeminal nerve is responsive for sensations of the ________ and ____________ of three scalp.
Face; Front half
The motor component of this nerve moves the face.
Facial
Condition wherein one does not have control to one side of their face. If the damaged nerve is the left one, there would be no control on the _______ side of the face.
Facial nerve palsy; Right/opposite
The sensory component of the _______ nerve is responsible for the taste in the _______ _______ of the tongue
Facial; Anterior two-thirds
Purely motor cranial nerve responsible for moving your tongue
Hypoglossal (nerve XII)
purely sensory cranial nerves
I, II, VIII (olfactory, optic, vestibulocochlear)
The pattern of ___________/__________ is what causes you to perceive or remember a smell.
Inhibition; excitation
oblique muscles : ______________ and _____________ movement Rectus : _____________ movement
Inward, backward; Straight/straightforward
The ____________ nerves have a direct course to the limbic system, particularly the ___________. This is why when you smell something foul, you get a strong aversive reaction.
Olfactory; amygdalae
The cranial nerve that is more like extensions of the brain rather than true nerves. It is an extension of brain matter rather than __________ (What nerves are).
Optic; A bundle of axons
The vagus nerve is a major nerve in the ________ nervous system.
Parasympathetic
From your eyes, the optic nerve crosses, just above the ___________ ________, in the __________ _________.
Pituitary gland; optic chiasm
What kind of cranial nerve is the first cranial nerve? What is it?
Purely sensory; olfactory
A condition wherein you lose a quarter of your vision (depending on damage to the particular optic radiation)
Quadrantanopia
Damage to the optic nerve behind the optic chiasm (__________ _________) causes
Quadrantanopia; optic radiations
Cranial nerve IX is also responsible for (apart from taste + raising mouth palate)
Salivating
What are the 12 pairs of cranial nerves?
olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, spinoaccessory, hypoglossal
