how are cranial nerves and spinal nerves similar?
435069
The function of the cranial nerves is for the most part similar to the spinal nerves, the nerves that are associated with the spinal cord. The motor components of the cranial nerves are derived from cells that are located in the brain.

Cranial nerves I, II, and VIII are pure sensory nerves. Cranial nerves III, IV, VI, XI, and XII are pure motor nerves. Cranial nerves V, VII, IX, and X are mixed sensory and motor nerves. The olfactory nerve (CN I) contains special sensory neurons concerned with smell.

The twelve cranial nerves, in order from I to XII are: olfactory nerve, optic nerve, oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, trigeminal nerve, abducens nerve, facial nerve, vestibulocochlear nerve, glossopharengeal nerve, vagus nerve, spinal accessory nerve, and hypoglossal nerve.

There are twelve cranial nerves, ten of which originate from the brainstem, and mainly control the functions of the anatomic structures of the head with some exceptions. One unique cranial nerve is the vagus nerve, which receives sensory information from organs in the thorax and abdomen.

The only cranial nerves that transmit parasympathetic fibers are the oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. 5 Special somatic afferent (SSA). These fibers carry special sensory input from the eye (retina), for vision, and from the ear (vestibular apparatus for equilibrium, and cochlea for hearing).

The hypoglossal nerve is mixed and involved in hearing. The only three cranial nerves that are purely sensory neurons include Olfactory (smell), Optic(sight), and Acoustic (hearing). Cranial nerves that are involved in motor movement only, include Vagus, spinal, hypoglossal, abducens, and trochlear.

There are three main groups of cranial nerves; special senses, innervation of the head muscles and innervation of structures originating from branchial arches. The special senses cranial nerves include the olfactory, ocular and vestibulocochlear.

A cranial nerve nucleus is a collection of neurons (gray matter) in the brain stem that is associated with one or more cranial nerves. Axons carrying information to and from the cranial nerves form a synapse first at these nuclei.

You have 12 pairs of cranial nerves. The cranial nerves can have sensory functions, motor functions, or both.

The cranial nerves leave the brain, and the spinal nerves leave the spinal cord. Twelve pairs of cranial nerves, the cell bodies of which are located in the brain, can be seen most clearly in a ventral view of the brain (Figure 4.1).

In higher vertebrates (reptiles, birds, mammals) there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves: olfactory (CN I), optic (CN II), oculomotor (CN III), trochlear (CN IV), trigeminal (CN V), abducent (or abducens; CN VI), facial (CN VII), vestibulocochlear (CN VIII), glossopharyngeal (CN IX), vagus (CN X), accessory (CN XI), and ...

V. The trigeminal nerve is the largest of your cranial nerves and has both sensory and motor functions.

The peripheral nervous system refers to the parts of the nervous system that are outside the central nervous system, that is, those outside the brain and spinal cord. Thus, the peripheral nervous system includes. The nerves that connect the head, face, eyes, nose, muscles, and ears to the brain (cranial nerves)

These neurons are located in all of the spinal nerves and all of the cranial nerves except I, II, and VIII. This chapter describes the spinal nerve GSE-LMN.

89 13.4 The Peripheral Nervous System Name the twelve cranial nerves and explain the functions associated with each. Describe the sensory and motor components of spinal nerves and the plexuses that they pass through.

Your cranial nerves are pairs of nerves that connect your brain to different parts of your head, neck, and trunk. There are 12 of them, each named for their function or structure. Each nerve also has a corresponding Roman numeral between I and XII. This is based off their location from front to back.

Motor nerves act as efferent nerves which carry information out from the CNS, as opposed to afferent nerves (also called sensory nerves), which send signals from sensory receptors in the periphery to the CNS.
