What nerve is also known as the acoustic or auditory nerve?
The nerve that is also known as the acoustic or auditory nerve is the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). It is responsible for transmitting auditory and balance information from the inner ear to the brain.
What is 13th cranial nerve?
13th cranial nerve is NERVOUS TERMINALIS.... which is found in close association with olfactory nerve... Functions of this nerve are not clearly known to medical world hence its better if u also dont try to know more about its functions.
What is the name of the cranial nerve that is tested in the visual acuity test?
The cranial nerve that is tested in the visual acuity test is the optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II. It is responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain.
The x cranial nerve is the nerve?
The CN X is the vagus also it is called pneumogastric nerve,the Wanderer or sometimes the Rambler
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 cranial nerve motor fibers to sternocleidomastoid and trapezius?
The sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles are controlled by the accessory cranial nerve. Some call it cranial nerve XI.
What cranial nerve is used when rotating the head?
The spinal accessory nerve, or cranial nerve XI (eleven), is a purely motor nerve which innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The sternocleidomastoid muscles are used to turn the head. The Accessory nerve also provides somatic motor fibers to muscles of the soft palate, pharynx, and larynx (spinal and medullary fibers respectively.)
What cranial nerve controls neck and shoulder movements?
Cranial Nerve XI (eleven) is know as the spinal accessory nerve and is responsible for the action of shoulder shrugging by way of its innervation of the trapezius muscle. The function of this cranial nerve may also be tested by asking the patient to turn their head to the left and right and by resisting this motion by placing your hand on their chin (the muscle tested in this second scenario is the Sternocleidomastoid, SCM).
What cranial nerve carries smell impulses to the brain?
The olfactory nerve, also known as the first cranial nerve, transports impulses for sense of smell to the brain. The olfactory nerve is capable of regeneration.
How many optic nerves are there in eyes?

How do somatic sensory nerve impulses get to the brainstem from the head itself?
Somatic sensory nerve impulses get to the brainstem from the head itself via the cranial nerves. Cranial nerves are also known as cerebral nerves.
What cranial nerve is used in listening to music?
The vestibulocochlear nerve or cranial nerve 8 (CN8) is largely involved with listening to music. However the trigeminal nerve (CN5), which innervates the tensor tympani, and the facial nerve (CN7), which innervates the stapedius muscle, may alter the perception of sound and theoretically affect the perception of music.
What nerve is used for mastication in dobermans?
The cranial nerve responsible for moving the cheek muscles is cranial nerve V (the trigeminal nerve). However, cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) and cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) are also involved in moving the tongue, the throat for swallowing and the muscles along the floor of the jaw.
Which cranial nerves is responsible for olfaction?
The olfactory nerve which is also cranial nerve number 1 is responsible for the sense of olfaction.
