Question
cranial nerves
the 12 pairs of cranial nerves primarily serve the head and neck. only one pair (the vagus nerves) extends to the thoracic and (1 ) cavities.
the cranial nerves are numbered in sequence, and in most cases their names reveal the most important structures they control. table 7.2 (pp 260 - 261) describes cranial nerves by name, number, course, and major (2 ). the last column of the table describes how cranial nerves are tested, which is an important part of any neurological examination. you do not need to memorize these tests, but this information may help you understand cranial (3 ) function. as you read through the table, also look at figure 7.23, p. 258, which shows the location of the cranial nerves on the brains anterior surface
most cranial nerves are mixed nerves; however, three pairs—the optic, olfactory, and vestibulocochlear (ves - tib*u - lo - kokle - ar) nerves—are purely (4 ) in function (the older name for the vestibulocochlear nerve is acoustic nerve, a name that reveals its role in hearing but not in equilibrium )
this study tool may help you remember the cranial nerves in order. the first letter of each word in the saying is the first letter of the (5 ) nerve to be remembered. “oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel very good velvet at home.”

The vagus nerve extends to the thoracic and abdominal cavities. Table 7.2 lists cranial nerves by name, number, course, and major function. Testing cranial nerves helps understand cranial nerve function. The optic, olfactory, and vestibulocochlear nerves are purely sensory. The saying helps remember cranial nerves in order by their first - letter.
