Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Between the brain and spinal cord.3 regions.
Medulla oblongata.Pons.Midbrain.
2Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
A continuation of the spinal cord.Sensory (ascending) tracts and motor
(descending) tracts travel through the white matter of the medulla.
Many nerves decussate (cross over) in the medulla.
3Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Cardiovascular center regulates the heartbeat and the diameter of the blood vessels.
4Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
The medullary rhythmicity area adjusts the rhythm of the breathing and controls reflexes for vomiting, coughing, and sneezing.
5Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
The nuclei for the following cranial nerves reside in the medulla:VIII (vestibulocochlear).IX (glossopharyngeal).X (vagus).XI (accessory).XII (hypoglossal).
6Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Pneumotaxic area and apneustic area regulate breathing.
Nuclei for cranial nerves V (trigeminal), VI (abducens), and VII (facial).
7Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
The midbrain or mesencephalon contains the superior colliculi (visual actvities) and inferior colliculi (auditory pathways).
The midbrain contains the substantia nigra which release dopamine to help control subconscious muscle activities. Loss of these neurons results in Parkinson disease.
Cranial nerves III (oculomotor) and IV (trochlear) originate here.

13Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: sensory.Function: smell.Anosmia – loss of sense of smell.Does not connect with the brainstem.
14Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
15Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: sensory.Function: vision.Anopia – blindness in one or both eyes.
16Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed (mainly motor).Function: movement of the upper eyelid
and eyeball. Accomodation of the lens for near vision and constriction of the pupil.
Strabismus – deviation of the eye in which both eyes don’t focus on the same object.
Ptosis – drooping of the upper eyelid.Diploia – double vision.
17Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed (mainly motor).Function: movement of the eyeball.Diplopia and strabismus occur with trochlear
nerve damage.
18Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
19Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed.Function: conveys impulses for touch, pain,
temperature and proprioception. Chewing.Trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux) – pain
to branches of the trigeminal nerve.Dentists apply anesthetic to branches of this
nerve.
20Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
21Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed (mainly motor).Function: movement of the eyeball.With damage to this nerve the eye cannot
move laterally beyond the midpoint and usually points medially.
22Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
23Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed.Function: Propriception and taste. Facial
expression. Secretion of saliva and tears.Injury produces bell’s palsy (paralysis of
facial muscles).
24Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
25Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed (mainly sensory).Function: conveys impulses for equilibrium
and hearing.Injury can cause vertigo, ataxia (muscular
incoordination), nystagmus (rapid movement of the eyeball), and tinnitus.
26Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed.Function: taste and somatic sensations from
the posterior 1/3 of the tongue. Elevates the pharynx during swallowing and speech. Stimulates the secretion of saliva.
Injury causes decreased salivary secretion, loss of taste, and difficulty swallowing.
27Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
28Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed.Function: taste and somatic sensations.
Swallowing, coughing, and voice production. Regulates GI tract and heart rate.
Injury interferes with swallowing, paralyzes vocal cords, and causes the heart rate to increase.
29Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
30Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed (mainly motor).Function: Proprioception. Swallowing,
movement of head and shoulders.If the nerves are damaged the SCM and
Trapezius become paralyzed.
31Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
32Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Type: mixed (mainly motor).Function: Proprioception. Movement of the
tongue during speech and swallowing.Injury results in difficulty in chewing,
speaking, and swallowing. When protruded, the tongue curls towards the affected side and atrophies on the affected side.

This mnemonic device helps you memorize the names of the cranial nerves.
The first letter from each word corresponds to the first letter of each cranial nerve.
36Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter Most.
This mnemonic device helps you memorize the sensory / motor distribution of the cranial nerves.
S = sensoryM = MotorB = Both
37Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Twelve pairs of cranial nerves exit from the brain and brainstem.
These nerves innervate the face, head, and neck.They control all sensory and motor functions in
these areas including the special senses of vision, hearing, smell, and taste.
Cranial trauma, infections, aneurysm, stroke, degenerative diseases (i.e. multiple sclerosis), upper motor neuron lesions, lower motor neuron lesions, increased intracranial pressure, and abnormal masses or tumors can all affect the cranial nerves.
38Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
Some facial movements are performed in bilateral synchrony such as swallowing and moving the forehead and are thus innervated bilaterally.
Fine movements of the face are unilateral. The contralateral hemisphere innervates the affected area.
