Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2
The cranial nerves may be classified by function. The nerves may be sensory, motor, or mixed. Sensory nerves are responsible for receiving sensory information. Motor nerves allow the body to perform an action. The olfactory nerve is a sensory nerve and is responsible for the sense of smell. The optic nerve is a sensory nerve responsible for vision. Mixed nerves are able to receive sensory information and perform physical activities. The trochlear nerve is a motor nerve responsible for eye movement. The trigeminal nerve is a mixed nerve is responsible for sensory impulses from the lower eyelid, nasal cavity, and palate. Motor actions of the trigeminal nerve involve teeth clenching and movement of the mandible. The facial nerve is a mixed nerve responsible for taste, facial movements, and the production of tears and salivary stimulation.
