There are three cranial nerves that innervates muscle to move the eye. The main cranial nerve that controls eye movement is occulomotor nerve (CN III). It is responsible for inferior rectus, superior rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique.
Lateral rectus muscle is innervated by abducens nerve (CN VI).
Superior oblique muscle is innervated by trochlear nerve (CN III).
What else can I help you with?
Which cranial nerves is responsible for olfaction?
The olfactory nerve which is also cranial nerve number 1 is responsible for the sense of olfaction.
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.
Which of the external eye muscles is controlled by cranial nerve VI?
The lateral rectus muscle is controlled by cranial nerve VI, also known as the abducens nerve. This muscle is responsible for moving the eye outward, away from the nose.
What Cranial nerve is equilibrium and hearing?
The cranial nerve responsible for both equilibrium and hearing is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It has two main branches: the vestibular branch, which is associated with balance and equilibrium, and the cochlear branch, which is associated with hearing.
Which of the cranial nerves transmit from the cochlea and semicircular canals to the brain?
The vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII, is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the cochlea of the inner ear (responsible for hearing) and the semicircular canals (responsible for balance) to the brainstem.
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.
What cranial nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information?
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic Nerve
Which cranial nerves is responsible for olfaction?
The olfactory nerve which is also cranial nerve number 1 is responsible for the sense of olfaction.
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 is the Cranial nerve II called?
The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve.
What cranial nerve is involved if you are experiencing problems moving your tongue pressure?
Cranial nerve 9: glossopharyngeal
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.
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.
Which of the external eye muscles is controlled by cranial nerve VI?
The lateral rectus muscle is controlled by cranial nerve VI, also known as the abducens nerve. This muscle is responsible for moving the eye outward, away from the nose.
What is the cranial cranial nerve responsible for?
equilibrium, taste, tears, and tongue movement
Which cranial nerve controls hearing and body balance?
The cranial nerve that controls hearing and body balance is the vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII. It has two main branches: the cochlear branch, responsible for hearing, and the vestibular branch, responsible for balance and spatial orientation.
Which cranial nerve in responsible for the reflex constriction of the pupil in response to light and accomodation?
The oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) is responsible for the reflex constriction of the pupil in response to light and accommodation.
