Cranial Nerves

In this lesson, we will review what the function of each cranial nerve is along with what parts of the body each helps regulate.  We will also distinguish the difference between a sensory nerve and a motor nerve. Familiarizing yourself with this information will be very useful for head to toe and neurological assessments.  It will also help guide interventions and treatments of disorders of the neurological system.

Learning Objectives:

Upon the completion of this lesson, learners will be able to:

1. List the cranial nerves
2. Identify the function of each cranial nerve
3. Determine the difference between a motor and a sensory nerve
