Which cranial nerve innervates the ear?
The cranial nerve that innervates the ear is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It has two branches: the vestibular nerve that controls balance and the cochlear nerve that controls hearing.
What is an abducent nerve?
An abducent nerve is a nerve which controls the lateral rectus muscle in the eye.
What nerve splits into the common fibular and tibial nerves?
The sciatic nerve splits into the common fibular (peroneal) and tibial nerves in the thigh region. This occurs just above the knee, with the common fibular nerve wrapping around the fibular head and the tibial nerve passing beneath the gastrocnemius muscle.
Function of abducens nerve?
The abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI) controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which is responsible for abducting (moving the eye away from the nose) the eye. Dysfunction of the abducens nerve can result in horizontal double vision (diplopia) and difficulty moving the affected eye laterally.
What nerve that controls tear glands?
The lacrimal nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve (which is a branch of the trigeminal nerve), controls the tear glands. It provides sensory innervation to the lacrimal gland, which is responsible for producing tears in the eye.
Why does the gastrocnemius muscle contract after stimulating the sciatic nerve?
The gastrocnemius is stimulated by a branch of the sciatic nerve called the tibial nerve. This causes contraction and produces plantar flexion of the foot. When a person stands on their "tippy toes" that is plantar flexion. This is a function of this nerve.
What is the effector of the Achilles reflex?
gastrocnemius muscle

What primary nerve that controls breathing is found in which nerve plexus?
The nerve that control the larynx during breathing is the Vagus Nerve.
Is the endocrine system controls the body through nerve impulses?
The nervous system controls the body through nerve impulses. The endocrine system controls the body through hormones.
Cranial nerve for sense of hearing?
