CN which is the smallest -- olfactory n. CN which enters cerebrum directly - olfactory nerve
CN with longest intracranial (subarachnoid) course -- trochlear n
CN which emerges posterior to brain stem- trochlear nerve CN with dorsal exit -- trochlear n. CN which is the largest and thickest -- trigeminal n.
CN which is largest -- trigeminal nerve
CN with longest extracranial course --vagus n.
CN having longest intraosseous course -- facial nerve
CN with longest intradural course - abducent nerve
CN passing through cavernous sinus -- abducent nerve CN involved in raised intracranial tension -- abducent nerve
Abducent nerve has the longest intra-cranial INTRADURAL course!!
Thickest nerve is SCIATIC nerve
Thickest cutaneous nerve is GREATER OCCIPITAL nerve
Labourer’s nerve-median nerve
Dentist’s nerve-inferior alveolar nerve
Alderman’s nerve-auricular branch of vagus nerve
Nerve of laterjet-largest gastric branch of vagus nerve
   CN with longest intracranial course -- trochlear n. CN with longest extracranial course --vagus- Longest nerve:CN X (Vagus) which reaches from the medulla to the digestive and urinary organs CN which is the largest and thickest -- trigeminal n. CN with dorsal exit -- trochlear n. CN which is the smallest -- olfactory n. | ||
Longest course within the skull is the trochlear, while Largest is trigeminal, longest outside skull is vagus-from medulla to digestive and urinary organs |
