here's a useful mnemonic that I used in medical school:
1. Some - olfactory (sensory)
2. Say - optic (sensory)
3. Marry - oculomotor (motor)
4. Money - trochlear (motor)
5. But - trigeminal (both)
6. My - abducens (motor)
7. Brother - facial (both)
8. Says - vestibulocholear (sensory)
9. Big - glossopharyngeal (both)
10. Boobs - vagus (both)
11. Matter - accessory (motor)
12. More - hypoglossal (motor)

Which cranial nerves carries only sensory information?
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).
Is the glossopharyngeal nerve the only cranial nerve that contains sensory fibers?
no
What is mixed neuron?
Mixed nerve is a nerve that carry all the motor function, sensory function and the autonomic function in a single fiber. Spinal nerve is the example of the mixed nerve. Some of the Cranial nerve on the other hand is not the mixed nerve as it only has one property which is either sensory or motor function. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=spinal+nerve&gwp=13
What cranial nerve conducts sensory impulse from teeth and face?
vagus
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.

A cranial reflex that is often used to test the sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is the?
corneal
Which cranial nerve carries sensory information to the diencephalon?
Cranial nerve II
Are cranial nerves motor or sensory?
sensory nerve
Is the glossopharyngeal nerve the only cranial nerve that contains sensory fibers?
no
What is the largest cranial nerve that receives sensory neurons from the face and sends motor neurons to the chewing muscles making it a mixed nerve?
Trigeminal. Sensory function- touch/temp/pain. Motor function-chewing. Branches-mandibular, maxillary and opthalmic.
Which cranial nerve sends sensory impulses from the teeth?
eight

What is the the first pair of the cranial nerve?
I- Olefactory (sensory): smell. II- Optic (sensory): vision.

vagus

Somatic sensory nerve impulses get to the brainstem from the head itself via the cranial nerves. Cranial nerves are also known as cerebral nerves.
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!
