Question
question 10 of 10 which cranial nerves provide parasympathetic innervation to the body? cranial nerve iii oculomotor nerve cranial nerve x vagus nerve cranial nerve vii facial nerve all of these cranial nerves
Brief Explanations
- Cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve) provides parasympathetic innervation to the eye (e.g., for pupil constriction and lens accommodation).
- Cranial nerve VII (facial nerve) provides parasympathetic innervation to glands like salivary glands and lacrimal glands.
- Cranial nerve X (vagus nerve) provides extensive parasympathetic innervation to many organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities (e.g., heart, lungs, digestive organs).
Since all three (III, VII, X) are involved in parasympathetic innervation, the correct answer is "All of these cranial nerves".
