  2. Names of cranial nerves • Ⅰ Olfactory nerve • Ⅱ Optic nerve • Ⅲ Oculomotor nerve • Ⅳ Trochlear nerve • Ⅴ Trigeminal nerve • Ⅵ Abducent nerve • Ⅶ Facial nerve • Ⅷ Vestibulocochlear nerve • Ⅸ Glossopharyngeal nerve • Ⅹ Vagus nerve • Ⅺ Accessory nerve • Ⅻ Hypoglossal nerve

  3. Functional components • General somatic afferent fibers (GSA): transmit exteroceptive and proprioceptive impulses from head and face to somatic sensory nuclei • Special somatic afferent fibers (SSA): transmit sensory impulses from special sense organs of vision, equilibrium and hearing to the brain • General visceral afferent fibers (GVA): transmit interoceptive impulses from the viscera to the visceral sensory nuclei • Special visceral afferent fibers (SVA): transmit sensory impulses from special sense organs of smell and taste to the brain • General somatic efferent fibers (GSE): innervate skeletal muscles of eye and tongue • Special visceral efferent fibers (SVE): transmit motor impulses from the brain to skeletal muscles derived from brachial (gill) arches of embryo. These include the muscles of mastication, facial expression and swallowing • General visceral efferent fibers (GVE): transmit motor impulses from the general visceral motor nuclei and relayed in parasympathetic ganglions. The postganglionic fibers supply cardiac muscles,smooth muscles and glands

  4. 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

  22. Facial nerve (Ⅶ) Components of fibers • SVE fibers originate from nucleus of facial nerve, and supply facial muscles • GVE fibers derived from superior salivatory nucleus and relayed in pterygopalatine ganglion and submandibular ganglion. The postganglionic fibers supply lacrimal, submandibular and sublingual glands • SVA fiber from taste buds of anterior two-thirds of tongue which cell bodies are in the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve and end by synapsing with cells of nucleus of solitary tract • GSA fibers from skin of external ear

  23. Course: leaves skull through internal acoustic meatus, facial canal and stylomastoid foramen, it then enters parotid gland where it divides into five branches which supply facial muscles

  24. Branches within the facial canal • Chorda tympani 鼓索: joins lingual branch of mandibular nerve • To taste buds on anterior two-thirds of tongue • Relayed in submandibular ganglion, the postganglionic fibers supply submandibular and sublingual glands

  25. Greater petrosal nerve岩大神经: GVE fibers pass to pterygopalatine ganglion 翼腭神经节and there relayed through the zygomatic and lacrimal nerves to lacrimal gland • Stapedial nerve 镫骨肌神经: to stapedius

  34. Branches in neck • Superior laryngeal nerve: passes down side of pharynx and given rise to • Internal branch, which pierces thyrohyoid membrane to innervates mucous membrane of larynx above fissure of glottis • External branch, which innervates cricothyroid • Cervical cardiac branches : descending to terminate in cardiac plexus • Others: auricular, pharyngeal and meningeal branches
