The cranial nerve that carries only motor information is the hypoglossal nerve, also known as cranial nerve XII. It is responsible for controlling the muscles of the tongue, which are essential for speech and swallowing. Unlike other cranial nerves, the hypoglossal nerve does not carry sensory information.
What else can I help you with?
What is the cranial nerve that carries sound information?
The cranial nerve that carries sound information is the vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII. It is responsible for transmitting auditory and vestibular information from the inner ear to the brainstem.
Which cranial nerve carries sensory information to the diencephalon?
The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) carries sensory information to the diencephalon. It is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the face, including touch, temperature, and pain sensations.
What cranial nerve control the eyes or visual functioning?
The optic nerve, or cranial nerve II, is responsible for visual functioning and carries visual information from the eyes to the brain.
What nerve acts as the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex?
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) carries sensory information about light intensity to the brain as part of the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex.
What is the name of the second cranial nerve which provides a pathway from retina to brain?
The second cranial nerve is called the optic nerve. It carries visual information from the retina at the back of the eye to the visual centers in the brain, allowing us to process and interpret visual stimuli.
What is the cranial nerve that carries sound information?
The cranial nerve that carries sound information is the vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII. It is responsible for transmitting auditory and vestibular information from the inner ear to the brainstem.
Which cranial nerve carries sensory information to the diencephalon?
The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) carries sensory information to the diencephalon. It is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the face, including touch, temperature, and pain sensations.
What cranial nerve carries hearing impulses to the brain?
the "vestibulocochlear" nerve is used for hearing. the hair cells of the cochlea and vestibular are how the nerve receives the information. The nerve is (VIII) out of the 12 cranial nerves.
What cranial nerve control the eyes or visual functioning?
The optic nerve, or cranial nerve II, is responsible for visual functioning and carries visual information from the eyes to the brain.
What nerve acts as the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex?
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) carries sensory information about light intensity to the brain as part of the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex.
Which cranial nerves carries only sensory information?
The question is asking what three cranial nerves are purely sensory in their function. Some relevant terms here are olfactory, optic, and auditory or vestibucochlear or acoustic nerves. The only three cranial nerves that are pure sensory in function are cranial nerve #1 : the olfactory nerve (smell), cranial nerve #2 : the optic nerve (sight), and cranial nerve #8 : the auditory/vestibucochlear/acoustic nerve (hearing).
The only cranial nerves that are attached to the cerebrum are?
The olfactory nerve (CN I) is the only cranial nerve directly attached to the cerebrum. It carries sensory information for smell from the nasal cavity to the brain.
What cranial nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information?
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic Nerve
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.
Which cranial nerve is not purely motor?
IX
Which cranial nerve has 3 branches?
The twelve cranial nerves can be can one of the following types:* Sensory = carry sensory innervation/information to and from certain organs * Motor = carry motor (movement) innervation to certain organs * Mixed/Both = carries both sensory and motor innervation
What is the name of the second cranial nerve which provides a pathway from retina to brain?
The second cranial nerve is called the optic nerve. It carries visual information from the retina at the back of the eye to the visual centers in the brain, allowing us to process and interpret visual stimuli.
