LAB EXERCISE11 CRANIAL NERVES
Cranial Nerves • Twelve pairs of cranial nerves • That arise from the brain • Each nerve is identified by a Roman number • I through XII • and a name
Cranial Nerves • Four Classifications of Cranial Nerves • Sensory nerves **Carry somatic sensory information, including touch, pressure, vibration, temperature, and pain • Special sensory nerves **Carry sensations such as smell, sight, hearing, balance • Motor nerves: **Axons of somatic motor neurons • Mixed nerves: **Mixture of motor and sensory fibers
Summary of Function of Cranial Nerves Figure 13.5b
