The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for digestion. The GI tract is innervated by the Gastric nerve, otherwise known as the Vagus nerve.
Digestion is controlled by the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
Optic Nerve = Vision Oculomotor Nerve = Eye movement; pupil constriction Trochlear Nerve = Eye movement Trigeminal Nerve = Somatosensory information (touch, pain) from the face and head; muscles for chewing. Abducens Nerve = Eye Movement Vestibulocochlear Nerve = Hearing; balance Vagus Nerve = Sensory, motor and autonomic functions of viscera (glands, digestion, heart rate) Spinal Accessory Nerve = Controls muscles used in head movement. Hypoglossal Nerve = Controls muscles of tongue
auditory nerve
Femoral nerve
The cranial nerve that innervates the ear is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It has two branches: the vestibular nerve that controls balance and the cochlear nerve that controls hearing.
An abducent nerve is a nerve which controls the lateral rectus muscle in the eye.
The tibial nerve controls the gastrocnemius muscle. It is a branch of the sciatic nerve and innervates the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, including the gastrocnemius.
The nerve that control the larynx during breathing is the Vagus Nerve.
The cranial nerve X (Vagus Nerve) is involved for digestion. It stimulates the stomach and releases gastric juices including water, pepsin and hydrochloric acid which is needed for digestion.
The nervous system controls the body through nerve impulses. The endocrine system controls the body through hormones.
The vestibulocochlear cranial nerve controls hearing.
