What cranial nerve is used when smelling a flower?
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
What number cranial nerve is the vagus nerve?
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve, also known as cranial nerve X.
Which one of the following cranial nerves is NOT involved in either taste?
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) is not involved in taste, as its primary function is vision. Taste is primarily mediated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX), and vagus nerve (cranial nerve X).
Which is the only cranial nerve to extend to the abdomen?
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is the only cranial nerve that extends all the way down to the abdomen, providing parasympathetic innervation to organs in the chest and abdomen.
What cranial nerve is involved in hyper extending and flexing the neck?
The spinal accessory nerve (cranial nerve XI) is involved in hyperextending and flexing the neck. This nerve innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles, which are involved in these movements.
Which cranial nerve has been damaged when your mouth droops following carotid surgery?
Marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.
Which cranial nerve if damaged causes inability to see close?
The cranial nerve that, if damaged, can cause an inability to see close objects is the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III). Damage to this nerve can affect the movement of the eye muscles responsible for changing focus and adjusting the shape of the lens to see objects up close.
What cranial nerve is used when smelling a flower?
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
What part of the nervous system is affected by the bell's palsy?
The Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VII is the nerve involved with Bell's Palsy.
Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
What number cranial nerve is the vagus nerve?
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve, also known as cranial nerve X.
Which cranial nerve is of particular interest to dentists and dental patients?
The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is of particular interest to dentists and dental patients because it innervates the muscles of mastication and is responsible for providing sensation to the face, mouth, and teeth. Issues with the trigeminal nerve can lead to problems with chewing, swallowing, and feeling in the face and mouth.
Smell impulses are carried by the cranial nerve called the?
Smell impulses are carried by the cranial nerve called the olfactory nerve (cranial nerve I). It is responsible for transmitting information about odors from the nose to the brain.
Which one of the following cranial nerves is NOT involved in either taste?
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) is not involved in taste, as its primary function is vision. Taste is primarily mediated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX), and vagus nerve (cranial nerve X).
What is the function of cranial nerves?
cranial nerve I: olfactory:smell cranial nerve II:optic:vision cranial nerve III: oculomotor: 4 of 6 eye muscles cranial nerve IV: trochlear: cranial nerve V: Trigeminal cranial nerve VI: Abducens cranial nerve VII: Facial cranial nerve VIII: Vestibulochlear: hearing cranial nerve IX: Grosspharnxgeal: saliva formation cranial nerve X: Vegus cranial nerve XI: Acessory Spinal: trapizious movement cranial nerve XII: Hypoglosseal: toungue movement
What cranial nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information?
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic Nerve
What cranial nerve slows the heart?
Nerve X, Vagus
