What innervates velar muscles?
Cranial Nerve V
What nerve is used for mastication in dobermans?
The cranial nerve responsible for moving the cheek muscles is cranial nerve V (the trigeminal nerve). However, cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) and cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) are also involved in moving the tongue, the throat for swallowing and the muscles along the floor of the jaw.
Which cranial nerve is of particular interest to dentists and dental patients?
The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is of particular interest to dentists and dental patients because it innervates the muscles of mastication and is responsible for providing sensation to the face, mouth, and teeth. Issues with the trigeminal nerve can lead to problems with chewing, swallowing, and feeling in the face and mouth.
Which cranial nerve innervates the ear?
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.
What cranial nerve is involved in hyper extending and flexing the neck?
The spinal accessory nerve (cranial nerve XI) is involved in hyperextending and flexing the neck. This nerve innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles, which are involved in these movements.
Which cranial nerve used in anatomy of ear?
The vestibulocochlear nerve innervates the ear.
Cranial nerve involved in vision and visual fields?
The optic nerve (purely sensory; carry afferent impulses for vision) Oculomotor (innervates four of the extrinsic eye muscles) Trochlear (innervates an extrinsic eye muscle that hooks through a pulley-shaped ligament in the orbit) Abducens (innervates the muscle that turns abducts the eyeball)
Opening the eyes involves the what nerve?
Opening the eyes involves the cranial nerve called the oculomotor nerve (CN III). This nerve innervates the muscles responsible for raising the upper eyelid and controlling the pupil size.
What cranial nerve is used for chewing food?
the trigeminal nerve (V) controls the movement of eight muscles, including the four muscles of mastication.The muscle that are involved in chewing food are the, temporalis, the masseter and the pterygoids.
Which nerve control smiling?
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, controls the muscles of facial expression, including those involved in smiling. It originates in the brainstem and innervates the muscles of the face, allowing for various facial movements, including smiling.
What is the twelfth cranial nerve?
The twelfth cranial nerve is the hypoglossal nerve. It is responsible for controlling the muscles of the tongue, allowing for movements necessary for speech and swallowing. Damage to this nerve can lead to difficulties with tongue movement and speech articulation.
What nerve is important for swallowing?
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is the most important nerve for swallowing. It innervates the muscles involved in the swallowing process and helps coordinate the complex sequence of muscle movements required for safe and effective swallowing.
