The cranial nerves can be separated into four major groups associated with the subtests of the cranial nerve exam First are the sensory nerves, then the nerves that Nooflex control eye movement, the nerves of the oral cavity and superior pharynx, and the nerve that controls movements of the neck The olfactory, optic, and vestibulocochlear nerves are strictly sensory nerves for smell, sight, and balance and hearing, whereas the trigeminal, facial, and gloss pharyngeal nerves carry somatosensation of the face, and taste—separated between the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and the posterior one-third Special senses are tested by presenting the particular stimuli to each receptive organ General senses can be tested through sensory discrimination of touch versus painful stimuli The coulometer, trochee, and abdomens nerves control the extra ocular muscles and are connected by the medial longitudinal fasciculus to coordinate gaze Testing conjugate gaze is as simple as having the patient follow a visual target, like a pen tip, through the visual field ending with an approach toward the face to test convergence and accommodation Along with the vestibular functions of the eighth nerve, the vestibule-ocular reflex stabilizes gaze during head movements by coordinating equilibrium sensations with the eye movement systems The trigeminal nerve controls the muscles of chewing, which are tested for stretch reflexes
