Parkinson's disease affects some of the functions for which cranial nerves are responsible, for example, by creating disturbances of vision and smell, but scientists are not certain whether this effect involves damage to the cranial nerves or to the areas within the brain that interpret sensory signals. Parkinson's symptoms such as difficulty in moving the eyes or swallowing relate to neuromuscular disruptions that take place in the basal ganglia and affect neuron communication to the muscles, rather than to damage that involves the cranial nerves that also have functions related to the muscles that move the eyes, tongue, and face. The route of transit remains intact although the signals traveling to it are distorted.
What else can I help you with?
What cranial nerve affected on parkinson's disease?
Trigeminal Nerve
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.
What number cranial nerve is the vagus nerve?
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve, also known as cranial nerve X.
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 is the Cranial nerve II called?
The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve.
What cranial nerve slows the heart?
Nerve X, Vagus
Cranial nerve for sense of hearing?
The vestibulocochlear cranial nerve controls hearing.
What cranial nerve is involved in Bell's palsy?
The Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VII is the nerve involved with Bell's Palsy.
