A cranial reflex that is often used to test the sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is the?
corneal
What cranial nerves are involved in tooth ache in upper jaw?
The cranial nerve would be the 5th one (V), the Trigeminal. This nerve is responsible for conduction sensory impulses from the skin of the face and mucosa of the nose and mouth. Also, it contains motor fibers that activate the chewing muscles.
Which cranial nerve carries sensory information to the diencephalon?
Cranial nerve II
The only two cranial nerves that are completely sensory are numbers?
I and II
Is the posterior interosseous nerve a cranial nerve or a spinal nerve?
what does ninth cranial nerve control? glossopharyngeal nerve is a mixed nerve, it has sensory and motor part. the sensory is at the poserior 1/3 of the tongue. It also is part of the pharyngeal plexus. (9,10,11) The motor part of the nerve ONLY supply the stylopharyngeus muscle!
What do the mixed cranial nerves containing both motor and sensory fibers include?
Olfactory
A cranial reflex that is often used to test the sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is the?
corneal
What cranial nerve is involved in toothache?
Trigeminal neuralgia is a rare disorder of the sensory fibers of the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve), which innervate the face and jaw. The neuralgia is accompanied by severe, stabbing pains in the jaw or face.
Which cranial nerve has 3 branches?
The twelve cranial nerves can be can one of the following types:* Sensory = carry sensory innervation/information to and from certain organs * Motor = carry motor (movement) innervation to certain organs * Mixed/Both = carries both sensory and motor innervation

What is the chief sensory nerve in the face?
It is the Trigeminal Nerve
What is the largest cranial nerve that receives sensory neurons from the face and sends motor neurons to the chewing muscles making it a mixed nerve?
Trigeminal. Sensory function- touch/temp/pain. Motor function-chewing. Branches-mandibular, maxillary and opthalmic.
Which carnial nerves are purely sensory?
Actually, there are three cranial nerves that are completely sensory: Olfactory nerve, Optic nerve and the Vestibulocohlear nerve. The Optic nerve is responsible for sensory information for vision, the Olfactory nerve is responsible for sensory information coming from the nose and the Vestibulocohlear (the craziest word to spell) involves sensory information for hearing (get it?- cohlear, ear) and equilibrium.
Are cranial nerves motor or sensory?
sensory nerve
What does the fifth cranial nerve do?
Cranial nerve V. is the trigeminal nerve. It got its name after its three branches. Two of the branches are pure sensory, the third is mixed motor and sensory. In short, it gathers sensory information from the scalp, eyelids, eyes (from the cornea and conjuntiva, NOT visual information), nose, cheeks, lips, teeth, gums, oral cavity and jaw. The motor fibers innervate muscles involved in chewing and swallowing.
What is trigeminal neuralga?
Trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux) is a disorder of the fifth cranial (trigeminal) nerve that causes episodes of intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain in the areas of the face where the branches of the nerve are distributed - lips, eyes, nose, scalp, forehead, upper jaw, and lower jaw. Classic symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia include: Pain is described as lancinating - (sharp) Pain comes and goes (intermittent) Pain must be in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve There has to be triggers There is remission A diagnostic tool is the response to Tegretol (Carbamazepine) Trigeminal nerve - (V) fifth cranial nerve V1: Ophtalmic-eye, forehead and nose.1-Sensory V2: Maxillary - upper teeth, gums and lip, the cheek, lower eyelid and the side of the nose.1-Sensory V3: Mandibular - lower teeth, lower gums and lower lip.1-Sensory - Jaw.2-Motor 1SENSORY: Transmits pressure, touch, pain and temperature signals to the brain. 2MOTOR: Controls movement. Trigeminal Neuralgia pain can involve one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. A valuable clue to the diagnosis is the triggering of the pain with certain activities. Patients carefully avoid rubbing the face or shaving a trigger area. Chewing, talking, smiling, or drinking cold or hot fluids may trigger Trigeminal Neuralgia pain. Touching, shaving, brushing teeth, blowing the nose, or cold/warm breeze also may bring on an attack. http://www.tnaaustralia.org.au/
Which cranial nerve carries sensory information to the diencephalon?
Cranial nerve II
