Cranial Nerve I
|
Olfactory NerveP.F.- Smell; Special SensoryOrigin- receptors of olfactory epitheliumPathway- Olfactory Foramina in Cribiform Plate of EthmoidDestination- Olfactory Bulb (either side of Crista Galli)
Olfactory Tracts: Axons of postsynaptic neurons; Leading to Cerebrum |
|
Cranial Nerve II
|
Optic NervesP.F- Vision; special sensoryOrigin- Retina of EyePathway- Optic canals of sphenoidDestination- Diencephalon via optic chiasma (sensory fibers converge here and cross to opposite side of brain)
Optic Tracts: Reorganized axons leading to lateral geniculate nuclei |
|

Oculomotor NervesP.F.-Eye Movement (intrinsic/extrinsic); somatic motorOrigin- Mesencephalon Pathway- Superior Orbital Fissures of Sphenoid BoneDestination- superior, inferior, medial rectus m.; Inferior oblique m, levator papelbrae superioris m.
Controls 4/6 eye movement musclesDelivers Autonomic Fibers to Ciliary Ganglion; C.G. controls intrinsic muscle of iris and lens; Destination- Parasympathetic pupillary constrictor muscle (visceral motor) |
|
Cranial Nerve IV
|
Trochlear NervesP.F.-Eye movements (superior oblique m.); somatic motorOrigin- MesencephalonPathway- Superior Orbital Fissure of Sphenoid BoneDestination- Superior oblique muscle
