| Olfactory nerve functions? | Sensory: Smell |
| Optic nerve functions? | Sensory: Vision |
| Oculomotor nerve functions? | Motor: Movement of eyelid and eyeball, accommodation of lens for near vision, and constriction of pupil. Sensory: Proprioception (muscle sence). |
| Trochlear nerve functions? | Motor: Movement of eyeball. Sensory: Proprioception (muscle sense). |
| Trigeminal nerve functions? | Motor: Chewing. Sensory: Conveys sensations for touch, pain, and temperature from structures supplied; Proprioception (muscle sense) |
| Abducens nerve functions? | Motor: Movement of eyeball. Sensory: Proprioception (muscle sense) |
| Facial nerve functions? | Motor: Facial expression and secretion of saliva and tears. Sensory: Proprioception (muscle sense) and taste. |
| Vestibulocochlear nerve functions? | Sensory: Conveys impulses associated with hearing and equilibrium. |
| Glossopharyngeal nerve functions? | Motor: Secretion of saliva. Sensory: Taste and regulation of blood pressure; Proprioception (muscle sense). |
| Vagus nerve functions? | Motor: Visceral muscle movement. Sensory: Sensations from organs supplied; Proprioception (muscle sense). |
| Accessory nerve functions? | Motor: Cranial portion mediates swallowing; spinal portion mediates movement of head. Sensory: Proprioception (muscle sense). |
| Hypoglossal nerve functions? | Motor: Movement of tongue during speech and swallowing. Sensory: Proprioception (muscle sense). |
