Spinal nerves are called mixed nerves because they all carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.

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).


Mixed cranial nerves containing both motor and sensory fibers include trigeminal?

The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is a mixed cranial nerve that contains both sensory and motor fibers. It is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing. The sensory component detects touch, pain, and temperature from the face, while the motor component innervates the muscles of mastication. Other mixed cranial nerves include the facial nerve (VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), and vagus nerve (X).


What is the nerve IV of the cranial nerves?

The nerve IV of the cranial nerves is the trochlear nerve. It is responsible for controlling the superior oblique muscle of the eye, which helps with downward and inward eye movements. It is the smallest cranial nerve in terms of the number of axons it contains.


The only two cranial nerves that are completely sensory are numbers?

The only two cranial nerves that are completely sensory are the olfactory nerve (I) for smell and the optic nerve (II) for vision.


What nerves carry signals to and from the eyes and ears?

The oculomotor nerve or the third cranial nerve, trochlear or forth cranial nerve and abducent or the sixth cranial nerve carry signal to your eye. The optic nerve carry the signal from the eye to the brain. Vestibulocochlear or the eighth cranial nerve carry the signal from your ear to the brain.

How many nerves are in your eyes?

Each eye has one nerve for vision, the optic nerve, Cranial Nerve II. Nerves are actually bundles of many nerve fibers. There are nerves that supply impulses for the muscles associated with the eyeballs so they can move are the Cranial Nerve III, Oculomotor, Cranial Nerve IV, Trochlear, and Cranial Nerve VI, the Abducens nerve.


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 is the nerve for smell?

The olfactory nerves are cranial nerves( arise from the brain ). olfactory nerve is the first nerve among the all cranial nerves. olfactory nerves passes sense of smell through nerve impulses( chemical=neurotransmitters, and electrical signals ).


Which cranial nerve is responsible for the sense of hearing?

olfactory


Which cranial nerves conduct the sensory and motor impulses of the eye?

The Optical nerver or the Second Cranial nerve controls and relays information absorbed through the rods and cones of the eye. Eye movements (eye muscles), however, are controlled by several other cranial nerves including the Oculomotor, Abducens, and Trochlear nerves.
