Cranial nerves Each cranial nerve is paired and is present on both sides. Depending on definition in humans there are twelve or thirteen cranial nerves pairs, which are assigned Roman numerals I–XII, sometimes also including cranial nerve zero. The numbering of the cranial nerves is based on the order in which they emerge from the brain, front to back .

Optic nerve Its diameter increases from about 1.6 mm within the eye to 3.5 mm in the orbit to 4.5 mm within the cranial space. The optic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe, 24 mm in the orbit, 9 mm in the optic canal, and 16 mm in the cranial space before joining the optic chiasm.There, partial decussation occurs, and about 53% of the fibers cross to form the optic tracts.s a consequence, the fibers of the optic nerve are covered with myelin produced by oligodendrocytes, rather than Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system, and are encased within the meninges. Peripheral neuropathies like Guillain-Barre barré syndrome do not affect the optic. nerve

Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology Introduction. Cranial nerves are those nerves which arise from the brain and brain stem rather than the spinal cord. Nerves arising from the spinal cord are the peripheral nerves. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves and these pairs of nerves passage through foramina in the skull, either individually or in groups.ccessory nerve (XI). The accessory nerve is part of the group of cranial nerves responsible for innervation of structures derived from the branchial arches. It is also part of a group together with the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves that passes through the jugular foramen which is termed the vagus group.

A Practical Guide to Clinical Medicine Cranial Nerve 2 (Optic): This nerve carries visual impulses from the eye to the optical cortex of the brain by means of the optic tracts. Testing involves 3 phases (also covered in the section of this site dedicated to the Eye Exam):

Chapter 19, pt2: Cranial Nerves Cranial Nerves: OLFACTORY (1) NERVE. - this nerve is entirely sensory, it contains axons that conduct nerve impulses for olfaction, the sense of smell. - bundles of axons of olfactory receptors extend through foramina in the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone.ROCHLEAR (4) NERVE. - is a motor cranial nerve. It is the smallest of the 12 cranial nerves and is the only one that arises from the posterior aspect of the brain stem. - the somatic motor fibers innervate the superior oblique muscle of the eyeball.

Optic nerve For other uses, see Optic Nerve. The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. The optic nerve is derived from optic stalks during the seventh week of development and is composed of retinal ganglion cell axons and glial cells.

What are the Cranial Nerves? Hypoglossal: motor nerve – moves the tongue in speaking, chewing and swallowing. The four cranial nerves involved in vision and movement of the eyes are the optic (I) nerve, oculomotor (III) nerve, trochlear (IV) nerve and the abducen (VI) nerve. The optic nerve is the sensory nerve for vision. It transmits information from the eyes to the brain.

- 0. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves although the optic nerve is really an extension of the brain rather than a peripheral nerve. The ability to test them swiftly, efficiently and to interpret the findings should be a core competency for general practice.

The 12 Cranial Nerves Cranial Nerve IV: The Trochlear Nerve Stemming from the lateral superior margin of the left and right side of the pons, exiting the skull through the superior orbital fissure and terminating in the superior oblique eye muscle, this nerve motorically governs the abduction, depression and internal rotation of the eye.

The Optic Nerve The Optic Nerve is the second of the Twelve Cranial Nerves. It consists of both afferent and efferent visual sensory fibers. The word afferent means toward the centre, as in from a peripheral area of a limb to the central nervous system. Henceforth the optic fibers travel within the optic nerve, known as the optic tract. 2  At the optic chiasm, half of the fibers continue into the optic nerve proper, while the other half cross over and continue on the contralateral side and vice versa.

- The optic nerve is located in the back of the eye. It is also called the second cranial nerve or cranial nerve II. It is the second of several pairs of cranial nerves. The job of the optic nerve is to transfer visual information from the retina to the vision centers of the brain via electrical impulses. The optic nerve is made of ganglionic cells or nerve cells. It consists of over one million nerve fibers. Our blind spot is caused by the absence of specialized photosensitive (light-sensitive) cells, or photoreceptors, in the part of the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye.

Glossopharyngeal nerve The glossopharyngeal nerve is a paired set of nerves, which is part of the 24 cranial nerves. These nerves are arranged in twelve pairs, of which the glossopharyngeal is the ninth.

Optic nerve The optic nerve begins at the optic disk, a structure that is 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) in diameter and is located at the back of the eye. The optic disk forms from the convergence of ganglion cell output fibres (called axons) as they pass out of the eye.

Optic nerve Its diameter increases from about 1.6 mm within the eye to 3.5 mm in the orbit to 4.5 mm within the cranial space. The optic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe, 24 mm in the orbit, 9 mm in the optic canal, and 16 mm in the cranial space before joining the optic chiasm. There, partial decussation occurs, and about 53% of the fibers cross to form the optic tracts.

The Optic Nerve The optic nerve(also known as cranial nerve II) is a continuation of the axons of the ganglion cells in the retina. There are approximately 1.1 million nerve cells in each optic nerve. The optic nerve, which acts like a cable connecting the eye with the brain, actually is more like brain tissue than it is nerve tissue. visual pathway
