The question is asking what three cranial nerves are purely sensory in their function. Some relevant terms here are olfactory, optic, and auditory or vestibucochlear or acoustic nerves. The only three cranial nerves that are pure sensory in function are cranial nerve #1 : the olfactory nerve (smell), cranial nerve #2 : the optic nerve (sight), and cranial nerve #8 : the auditory/vestibucochlear/acoustic nerve (hearing).
What else can I help you with?
The only cranial nerves that are attached to the cerebrum are?
The olfactory nerve (CN I) is the only cranial nerve directly attached to the cerebrum. It carries sensory information for smell from the nasal cavity to the brain.
What are the functions of the cranial nerves in terms of sensory, motor, or both?
The cranial nerves have various functions related to sensory, motor, or both. Some cranial nerves are primarily sensory, transmitting information from the senses like taste, smell, and vision to the brain. Others are mainly motor, controlling movements of the face, head, and neck muscles. Some cranial nerves have both sensory and motor functions, allowing for a combination of sensory input and motor control.
How do somatic sensory nerve impulses get to the brainstem from the head itself?
Somatic sensory nerve impulses from the head travel through the cranial nerves, such as the trigeminal nerve (V), facial nerve (VII), and glossopharyngeal nerve (IX). These nerves carry sensory information to the brainstem, specifically to the trigeminal nerve nuclei, which process and relay the information to higher brain regions for further processing and perception.
What are the nerves that gather information from the environment and carry it to the CNS?
The sensory nerves gather information from the environment and carry it to the central nervous system. These nerves include the cranial nerves and spinal nerves, which transmit signals such as touch, pain, temperature, and pressure to the brain and spinal cord for processing.
What nerve carries only sensory fibers?
nerves carrying just sensory fibers are referred to as sensory and or what nerves?
The only cranial nerves that are attached to the cerebrum are?
The olfactory nerve (CN I) is the only cranial nerve directly attached to the cerebrum. It carries sensory information for smell from the nasal cavity to the brain.
Are cranial nerves motor or sensory?
sensory nerve

How many pairs are of the cranial nerves?
There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that are part of the PNS. These nerves are sensory, mixed and mostly motor.

Which structure carries sensory information?
the dorsal horn is involved in sensory functions
Which cranial nerves are not sensory?
Cranial nerves III (oculomotor), IV (trochlear), VI (abducens), XI (accessory), and XII (hypoglossal) are motor nerves only.
The only two cranial nerves that are completely sensory are numbers?
The only two cranial nerves that are completely sensory are the olfactory nerve (I) for smell and the optic nerve (II) for vision.
What do cranial nerves VII IX and X contain?
Cranial nerves VII, IX and X are called mixed nerves because they contain both motor and sensory nerves.
What nerve carries only sensory fibers?
nerves carrying just sensory fibers are referred to as sensory and or what nerves?
What is the total number of cranial nerves?
There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, which make a total of 24 cranial nerves. These nerves emerge directly from the brain and are responsible for various sensory, motor, and autonomic functions in the head and neck.
