The difference between cranial nerves and spinal nerves
Each pair of spinal nerves is mixed, but there are three types of cranial nerves: sensory cranial nerves, motor cranial nerves, and mixed cranial nerves.
The visceral motor fibers in the cranial nerves are parasympathetic components and only exist in the four pairs of cranial nerves III, VII, IX, and X. The visceral motor fibers in the spinal nerves are mainly sympathetic components and are present in the 12 pairs of thoracic nerves and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd pairs of lumbar nerves. Only the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pairs of sacral nerves contain parasympathetic components.
Most of the cell bodies of somatosensory and visceral sensory fibers in cranial nerves are pseudounipolar neurons, which are concentrated into ganglia outside the brain, including the trigeminal ganglion (V), geniculate ganglion (VII), glossopharyngeal and vagus nerve (IX and X) superior and inferior ganglia. Ganglia related to balance and auditory input are composed of bipolar neuron cell bodies, including vestibular ganglia and cochlear ganglia (VIII)
olfactory nerve
Special visceral sensory fibers
The olfactory filaments are formed by the central processes of olfactory cells in the superior turbinate and the upper mucosa of the nasal septum. They pass through the ethmoid foramen and enter the anterior cranial fossa to connect to the olfactory bulb.
conduct smell
optic nerve
Special somatosensory fibers
convey visual information
The optic disc is formed by the concentration of ganglion cell axons at the back of the retina. The optic nerve forms after piercing the scleral plate.
The three-layer membrane of the brain also continues to wrap the optic nerve. The subarachnoid space also extends to the periphery of the optic nerve
Therefore, when intracranial pressure increases, the pressure can be transmitted to the optic nerve through the subarachnoid space, causing optic disc edema.
