Cranial nerve V. is the trigeminal nerve. It got its name after its three branches. Two of the branches are pure sensory, the third is mixed motor and sensory.
In short, it gathers sensory information from the scalp, eyelids, eyes (from the cornea and conjuntiva, NOT visual information), nose, cheeks, lips, teeth, gums, oral cavity and jaw. The motor fibers innervate muscles involved in chewing and swallowing.

What part of the nervous system consists of all of the spinal nerves and cranial nerves is the?
The peripheral nervous system consists of all the spinal nerves and cranial nerves. These nerves connect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the rest of the body, allowing for communication and control of bodily functions.
From where do most of the cranial nerves originate?
Most of the cranial nerves originate from the brainstem.
Where do the cranial nerves exit?
The cranial nerves exit from the brainstem. They emerge from specific openings in the skull called foramina, which are small bony passageways. These openings provide a pathway for the cranial nerves to exit the skull and innervate different parts of the head and neck.
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.
What are the innervation of the eye?
Cranial nerve #2 - optic nerve - special sensory for vision Cranial nerve #3 - occulomotor nerve - motor for extraoccular muscles & parasympathetic to ciliary ganglion Cranial nerve #4 - trochlear nerve - motor for extraoccular muscle (superior oblique) Cranial nerve #6 - abduscens nerve - motor for extraoccular muscle (lateral rectus)
What part of the nervous system consists of all of the spinal nerves and cranial nerves is the?
The peripheral nervous system consists of all the spinal nerves and cranial nerves. These nerves connect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the rest of the body, allowing for communication and control of bodily functions.
What nerves are involved in diplopia?
The nerves involved in diplopia include three cranial nerves: the oculomotor nerve (third cranial nerve), the abducens nerve (sixth cranial nerve), and the trochlear nerve (fourth cranial nerve).
