Olfactory nerve Optic nerve Oculomotor nerve Trochlear nerve Trigeminal nerve Abducent nerve Facial nerve Vestibulocochlear nerve Glossopharyngeal nerve Vagus nerve Accessory nerve Hypoglossal nerve
Functional components
General somatic afferent fibers (GSA): transmit exteroceptive and proprioceptive impulses from head and face to somatic sensory nuclei Special somatic afferent fibers (SSA): transmit sensory impulses from special sense organs of vision, equilibrium and hearing to the brain General visceral afferent fibers (GVA): transmit interoceptive impulses from the viscera to the visceral sensory nuclei Special visceral afferent fibers (SVA): transmit sensory impulses from special sense organs of smell and taste to the brain General somatic efferent fibers (GSE): innervate skeletal muscles of eye and tongue Special visceral efferent fibers (SVE): transmit motor impulses from the brain to skeletal muscles derived from brachial (gill) arches of embryo. These include the muscles of mastication, facial expression and swallowing General visceral efferent fibers (GVE): transmit motor impulses from the general visceral motor nuclei and relayed in parasympathetic ganglions. The postganglionic fibers supply cardiac muscles smooth muscles and glands
Mixed nerves: contain both sensory and motor fibers--Trigeminal nerve, Facial nerve, Glossopharyngeal nerve Vagus nerve
Cribrifom Olfactory foramina bulb Optic canal Internal acoustic meatus Lateral geniculate body Vestibular nuclei Cochlear nuclei
Smell Vision
Equilibrium Hearing
Arises from the olfactory epithelium Passes through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone Fibers run through the olfactory bulb and terminate in the primary olfactory cortex Functions solely by carrying afferent impulses for the sense of smell
Olfactory nerve
Olfactory mucosa (SVA) bulb Cribriform foramina Olfactory
Arises from the retina of the eye Optic nerves pass through the optic canals and converge at the optic chiasm They continue to the thalamus where they synapse From there, the optic radiation fibers run to the visual cortex Functions solely by carrying afferent impulses for vision
Optic nerve
Ganglion cell (SSA) Optic canal Lateral geniculate body
Vestibulocochlear nerve
Vestibular ganglion(SSA) Internal acoustic meatus Cochlear ganglion (SSA) Cochlear nuclei Vestibular nuclei
Origins -- arises from the cochlear and vestibular portions of the inner ear Sensory functions -- senses of equilibrium and hearing Motor functions -- none

Oculomotor nerve
Hypoglossal nerve
Hypoglossal nerve
Trigeminal nerve
Components of fibers
SVE fibers: originate from motor nucleus of trigeminal nerve, and supply masticatory muscles GSA fibers: transmit facial sensation to sensory nuclei of trigeminal nerve, the GSA fibers have their cell bodies in trigeminal ganglion, which lies on the apex of petrous part of temporal bone

Facial nerve ( )
Components of fibers
SVE fibers originate from nucleus of facial nerve, and supply facial muscles GVE fibers derived from superior salivatory nucleus and relayed in pterygopalatine ganglion and submandibular ganglion. The postganglionic fibers supply lacrimal, submandibular and sublingual glands SVA fiber from taste buds of anterior two-thirds of tongue which cell bodies are in the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve and end by synapsing with cells of nucleus of solitary tract GSA fibers from skin of external ear
Course: leaves skull through internal acoustic meatus, facial canal and stylomastoid foramen, it then enters parotid gland where it divides into five branches which supply facial muscles
Greater petrosal nerve: GVE fibers pass to pterygopalatine ganglion and there relayed through the zygomatic and lacrimal nerves to lacrimal gland Stapedial nerve : to stapedius
Branches outside of facial canal Temporal Zygomatic Buccal Marginal mandibular Cervical
Pterygopalatine ganglion : lies in pterygopalatine fossa under maxillary nerve Submandibular ganglion : lies between lingual nerve and submandibular gland
Glossopharyngeal nerve ( )
Components of fibers
SVE fibers: originate from nucleus ambiguus, and supply stylopharygeus GVE fibers: arise from inferior salivatory nucleus and ralyed in otic ganglion, the postganglionic fibers supply parotid gland SVA fibers: arise from the cells of inferior ganglion, the central processes of these cells terminate in nucleus of solitary tract, the peripheral processes supply the taste buds on posterior third of tongue GVA fibers: visceral sensation from mucosa of posterior third of tongue, pharynx, auditory tube and tympanic cavity, carotid sinus and glomus, and end by synapsing with cells of nucleus of solitary tract GSA fibers: sensation from skin of posterior surface of auricle and
Lingual branches : to taste buds and mucosa of posterior third of tongue Pharyngeal branches : take part in forming the pharyngeal plexus Tympanic nerve : GVE fibers via tympanic and lesser petrosal nerves to otic ganglion, with postganglionic fibers via auriculotemporal ( 3) to parotid gland
Carotid sinus branch : innervations to both carotid sinus and glomus Others: tonsillar and stylophayngeal branches
Vagus nerve ( )
components of fibers
GVE fibers: originate from dorsal nucleus of vagus nerve, synapse in parasympathetic ganglion, short postganglionic fibers innervate cardiac muscles, smooth muscles and glands of viscera SVE fibers: originate from ambiguus, to muscles of pharynx and larynx GVA fibers: carry impulse from viscera in neck, thoracic and abdominal cavity to nucleus of solitary tract GSA fiber: sensation from auricle, external acoustic meatus and cerebral dura mater
