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

1. Sensory nerves

**Carry somatic sensory information, including touch,

pressure, vibration, temperature, and pain

2. Special sensory nerves

**Carry sensations such as smell, sight, hearing,

balance

3. Motor nerves:

**Axons of somatic motor neurons

4. Mixed nerves:

**Mixture of motor and sensory fibers

Summary of Function of Cranial Nerves
