The Cranial Nerves Part - 1
2. Plan
The peripheral nervous system-
Structural Organization
spinal nerves
cranial nerves
ganglia
3. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists
of the nerves and ganglia outside of the
brain and spinal cord. The main function of the
PNS is to connect the central nervous
system (CNS) to the limbs and organs. Unlike
the CNS, the PNS is not protected by the bone
of spine and skull, or by the blood–brain barrier,
leaving it exposed to toxins and mechanical
injuries. The peripheral nervous system is
divided into the somatic nervous system and the
autonomic nervous system.
4. Nervous System: Structural
Organization
Structural subdivisions of the nervous system:
Central nervous system (CNS)
brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
cranial nerves (nerves that extend from the brain)
spinal nerves (nerves that extend from the spinal
cord)
ganglia (clusters of neuron cell bodies (somas)
located outside the CNS)
10. Spinal Nerves
Posterior root– contains
sensory fibers
Anterior root– contains
motor fibers
Just outside the spinal
cord there is a spinal
ganglion consisting of
nerve cells
Anterior and posterior roots join
to form mixed spinal nerve
Outside the intervertebral
foramen the spinal nerve divides
into :
1. Ramus communicans (white
and gray)
2. Ramus dorsalis
3. Ramus ventralis
4. Ramus meningeus

13. Innervation of the Skin:
Dermatomes
Dermatome – an area of skin
Innervated by cutaneous branches of a single
spinal nerve
Upper limb – skin is supplied by nerves of
the brachial plexus
Lower limb
Lumbar nerves – anterior surface
Sacral nerves – posterior surface
16. The plexuses
Forms by ventral rami
Cervical plexus
Brachial plexus
Lumbar plexus
Sacral plexus
Coccygeal plexus
Thoracic ventral rami
do not form nerve
plexuses
17. Cervical plexus (C1-C4)
innervates the muscles and
skin of the neck and
shoulder
most important:
Its phrenic nerve* (C3-C5)
is the sole motor supply of
diaphragm: one reason
why neck injuries are so
dangerous – can be lethal
(respiratory arrest = stop
breathing)
18.
19. Brachial plexus
Serves upper limbs
and shoulder girdle
Arises primarily from
C5-T1
Main nerves:
Musculocutaneous – to
arm flexors
Median – anterior
forearm muscles and
lateral palm
Ulnar – anteromedial
muscles of forearm and
medial hand
Axillary – to deltoid and
teres minor
Radial – to posterior
part of limb
21. Lumbar plexus
L1-L4
Lies within the psoas major muscle
Innervates anterior and medial muscles of
thigh through femoral and obturator
nerves respectively
Femoral nerve also innervates skin on
anterior thigh (including quads) and
medial leg
22.
23. Sacral plexus
L4-S4
Supplies muscles
and skin of
posterior thigh
and almost all of
the leg
Main branch is
the large sciatic
nerve,
24. Coccygeal plexus
This plexus is formed by
the fifth sacral nerve
(with a contribution from
S4) and the
coccygeal nerve. It gives
rise to the
anococcygeal nerve
(provides sensory
innervation to the skin
over the coccyx)
26. Classification of cranial nerves
Sensory cranial nerves: contain only afferent (sensory)
fibers
ⅠOlfactory nerve
ⅡOptic nerve
Ⅷ Vestibulocochlear nerve
Motor cranial nerves: contain only efferent (motor) fibers
Ⅲ Oculomotor nerve
Ⅳ Trochlear nerve
ⅥAbducent nerve
Ⅺ Accessory nerv
Ⅻ Hypoglossal nerve
Mixed nerves: contain both sensory and motor fibers---
ⅤTrigeminal nerve,
Ⅶ Facial nerve,
ⅨGlossopharyngeal nerve
ⅩVagus nerve
27. Cranial Nerve I: Olfactory
Arises from the olfactory epithelium
Passes through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone
Fibers run through the olfactory bulb and terminate in the
primary olfactory cortex (uncus)
Functions solely by carrying afferent impulses for the sense of
smell
Lesions result in ANOSMIA
28. Cranial Nerve II: Optic
Arises from the retina of the
eye
Optic nerves pass through the
optic canals and converge at
the optic chiasm
They continue to the thalamus
where they synapse
From there, the optic radiation
fibers run to the visual cortex
Functions solely by carrying
afferent impulses for vision
29. Cranial Nerve III: Oculomotor
Fibers extend from the ventral midbrain, pass
through the superior orbital fissure, and go to the
extrinsic eye muscles
Functions in raising the eyelid, directing the
eyeball, constricting the iris, and controlling lens
shape
The latter 2 functions are parasympathetically
controlled
Parasympathetic cell bodies are in the ciliary
ganglia
31. Cranial Nerve IV: Trochlear
Fibers emerge from the dorsal midbrain
and enter the orbits via the superior orbital
fissures; innervate the superior oblique
muscle
Primarily a motor nerve that directs the
eyeball
33. Cranial Nerve V: Trigeminal
Composed of three divisions
Ophthalmic (V1)
Maxillary (V2)
Mandibular (V3)
Fibers run from the face
to the pons via the
superior orbital fissure
(V1), the foramen
rotundum (V2), and the
foramen ovale (V3)
34. Ophthalmic nerve
Sensory from the eyes,
conjunctiva and orbital
contents including the
lacrimal gland
Maxillary nerve
Sensory branches from
anterior and middle
cranial fossa,
nasopharynx, palate,
nasal cavity, teeth of
the upper jaw, maxillary
sinus, skin of the side
of the nose, lower
eyelid, cheek, upper lip
Mandibular nerve
Motor fibers innervate
muscles of mastication,
tensor tympani, anterior
belly of digastric
Sensory fibres from the
skin of the lower face,
cheek, lower lip, ear,
external auditory
meatus and temporal
region, anterior two
thirds of the tongue,
teeth of the lower jaw,
mastoid air cells,
mucous membrane and
dura in the middle
cranial fossa
35. Lesion involves loss of
sensation, weakness in
chewing, Jaw deviation towards
the affected side
(Tic douloureux) or trigeminal
neuralgia
- Most excruciating pain
known
- Caused by inflammation of
nerve
- In severe cases, nerve is
cut; relieves agony but results
in loss of sensation on that side
of the face
36. Cranial Nerve VI: Abducens
Fibers leave the inferior pons and enter the orbit
via the superior orbital fissure
Primarily a motor nerve innervating the lateral
rectus muscle (abducts the eye; thus the name
abducens)
37. Cranial Nerve VII: Facial
Fibers leave the pons, travel through the internal
acoustic meatus, and emerge through the
stylomastoid foramen to the lateral aspect of the face
Motor functions include;
Facial expression
Transmittal of parasympathetic impulses to
lacrimal and salivary glands (submandibular and
sublingual glands)
Sensory function is taste from taste buds of anterior
two-thirds of the tongue
39. Facial Nerve (CN VII)
Bell’s palsy: paralysis of facial
muscles on affected side and loss
of taste sensation
Caused by herpes simplex I virus
Lower eyelid droops
Corner of mouth sags
Tears drip continuously and eye
cannot be completely closed (dry
eye may occur)
Condition may disappear
spontaneously without treatment
40. Cranial Nerve VIII:
Vestibulocochlear
Fibers arise from the hearing and equilibrium
apparatus of the inner ear, pass through the
internal acoustic meatus, and enter the
brainstem at the pons-medulla border
Two divisions – cochlear (hearing) and
vestibular (balance)
Functions are solely sensory – equilibrium and
hearing
42. Cranial Nerve IX:
Glossopharyngeal
Fibers emerge from the medulla, leave the skull
via the jugular foramen, and run to the throat
Nerve IX is a mixed nerve with motor and
sensory functions
Motor – innervates posterior 1/3 of the tongue
and pharynx, and provides motor fibers to the
parotid salivary gland
Sensory – fibers conduct taste and general
sensory impulses from the tongue and pharynx
44. Cranial Nerve X: Vagus
The only cranial nerve that extends beyond the
head and neck
Fibers emerge from the medulla via the jugular
foramen
The vagus is a mixed nerve
Most motor fibers are parasympathetic fibers to
the heart, lungs, and visceral organs
Paralysis leads to hoarseness
Total destruction incompatible with life
46. Cranial Nerve XI: Accessory
Formed from a cranial root emerging from the
medulla and a spinal root arising from the
superior region of the spinal cord
The spinal root passes upward into the
cranium via the foramen magnum
The accessory nerve leaves the cranium via
the jugular foramen
Innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid,
which move the head and neck
48. Cranial Nerve XII: Hypoglossal
Fibers arise from the medulla and exit the
skull via the hypoglossal canal
Innervates both extrinsic and intrinsic
muscles of the tongue, which contribute to
swallowing and speech
If damaged, difficulties in speech and swallowing;
inability to protrude tongue
