Cranial (attach to forebrain + brainstem) and spinal (attach to spinal cord) nerves link CNS to periphery
- Sensory: input from head and neck sensory nucleus in brain (columnar) e.g. trigeminal thalamus (synapse) (3rd order) Cortex
Thalamo-cortico: sensory
- Motor: fibres from motor cortex synapse at motor nucleus of nerve e.g. trigeminal muscles (effector)
Cortico-spinal: motor
Cranial nerve cell bodies are in the medulla

*These 4 cranial nerves (III, VII, IX, X), Autonomic component carry cranial part of craniosacral autonomic/parasympathetic outflow from the CNS
Parasympathetic pathways:
A) Cranial outflow: CN III, VII, IX, X 4 ganglia in head
1. Ciliary ganglion oculomotor nerve (III)
2. Pterygopalatine ganglion facial nerve (VII)
3. Submandibular ganglion facial nerve (VII)
4. Otic ganglion glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)
The vagus nerve (CN X) is major preganglionic parasympathetic supply to thorax and abdomen, synapses in ganglia within the wall of the target organs (e.g. enteric plexus of GI tract)
B) Sacral outflow
- S2-S4 via pelvic splanchnics
- Hindgut, pelvic viscera, and external genitalia
Sensory: input from head and neck sensory nucleus in the brain (columnar) e.g. trigeminal nucleus (2nd order) thalamus (3rd order) cortex
Motor: fibres from motor cortex synapse at motor nucleus of nerve e.g. trigeminal nucleus muscles (effector)
- For somatic skeletomotor
- For autonomic (visceral) pre and post ganglionic
Afferents (sensory): 2nd order nuclei in CNS and 1st order out
Efferents (motor): skeletomotor to somatic or pre + post ganglionic to autonomic (visceral)
All 2nd order (nuclei) in CNS except trigeminal mesencephalic (1 st order in CNS) and optic nerve & retina all in CNS
