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 nerves exit from skull through jugular foramen?
The glossopharyngeal (CN IX) and Vagus (X) exit the skull through the jugular foramen.
Is the glossopharyngeal nerve the only cranial nerve that contains sensory fibers?
No, the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) is not the only cranial nerve that contains sensory fibers. Other cranial nerves, such as the trigeminal nerve (CN V), facial nerve (CN VII), vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII), and vagus nerve (CN X), also contain sensory fibers in addition to motor or mixed fibers.
What two cranial nerves carry sensory information about blood pressure to the brain?
The glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) and the vagus nerve (CN X) carry sensory information about blood pressure from the carotid sinus and aortic arch to the brainstem.
Which nerves contribute to our sense of taste?
The nerves that contribute to our sense of taste are the facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, and vagus nerve. These nerves carry taste signals from the taste buds on the tongue to the brain, allowing us to perceive different flavors.
What causes glossopharyngeal neuralgia?
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia may be due to inflammation or compression of either the glossopharyngeal nerve or the vagus nerve, another nerve that innervates (stimulates) the same basic areas.
Is the glossopharyngeal nerve the only nerve that contains sensory fibers?
no
What cranial nerve detects tastes?
Facial nerve Glossopharyngeal nerve Vagus nerve
Glossopharyngeal nerve passes through what bones?
The glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) passes through the jugular foramen, which is formed by the temporal and occipital bones of the skull. This foramen also allows the passage of the vagus nerve and the accessory nerve. After exiting the skull, the glossopharyngeal nerve branches out to innervate structures in the throat and tongue.
What nerve controls swallowing?
The Hypoglossal nerves (XII) carry somatic motor fibers to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. These nerves are mixed, but primarily motor in function. The hypoglossal nerves arise from the Medulla Oblongata.
What structures does the glossopharyngeal nerve supply?
what structures does the vagus nerve su
What nerve transmits sensory information from the tongue?
glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)
Which cranial nerve is attached to the cerebrum?
The cranial nerves that are attached to the medulla oblongata are the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and hypoglossal nerves. The glossopharyngeal nerve is the ninth cranial nerve that causes the tongue, throat, and parotid gland to function properly. The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve which helps with motor production, mainly regarding the process of voice production. The accessory nerve is the eleventh cranial muscle whose only function is motor function, mainly regarding the trapezius and sternocledomastoid muscles. Lastly, the hypoglossal nerve is the twelfth cranial nerve which helps in the proper functioning of the muscles under the tongue.
What nerves run up your neck and into the ear?
The vagus nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve are two main nerves that run up the neck and into the ear. The vagus nerve supplies the outer ear and the auricle. The glossopharyngeal nerve provides sensation to the middle ear.
What is the nerve supply for taste bud of circumvallate papilla?
It should supply with glossopharyngeal & facial nerve.
Does the glossopharyngeal nerve include parasympathetic nerves?
Yes, except the CN X nerve, the CN IX, the CN VII, and the CN III nerve have the parasympathetic nerve
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).
