11. Classification of cranial nerves
•
•
•
Sensory cranial nerves: contain only afferent (sensory) fibers
– ⅠOlfactory nerve
– ⅡOptic nerve
– Ⅷ Vestibulocochlear nerve
Motor cranial nerves: contain only efferent (motor) fibers
– Ⅲ Oculomotor nerve
– Ⅳ Trochlear nerve
– ⅥAbducent nerve
– Ⅺ Accessory nerv
– Ⅻ Hypoglossal nerve
Mixed nerves: contain both sensory and motor fibers---
– ⅤTrigeminal nerve,
– Ⅶ Facial nerve,
– ⅨGlossopharyngeal nerve
– ⅩVagus nerve

15. Cerebellum
• Behind the brain stem
• Formed of : medline vermis
two cerebellar hemispheres
• Composed of :
outer grey matter and inner
White matter
16. MB
Pons C
MO
Superior peduncle connects cerebellum with midbrain.
Middle peduncle connects cerebellum with pons.
Inferior peduncle connects cerebellum with medulla oblongata
Cerebellar peduncles
25. UMNL LMNL
Tone Increased, with
‘clasp knife’ quality
Decreased
Clonus Present Absent
Fasciculations Absent Present
Muscle Wasting Absent, but disuse
atrophy eventually
results
Present (within 2-3
weeks)
Tendon Reflexes Increased. Extensor
plantar reflexes.
Decreased or
absent. Flexor
plantar reflexes.
Distribution Whole limbs, with
more weakness in
the upper limb
extensors and lower
limb flexors
Specific muscle
groups affected (e.g.
in the distribution of
a spinal segment, or
just the proximal
muscles, etc.)
