Understanding Brain Lobes and Cranial Nerves: Functions and Tests

This guide explores the intricacies of the human brain, focusing on lobes and cranial nerves, their functions, and evaluation methods. The frontal lobe, located at the front, governs emotions, reasoning, and speech. The parietal lobe oversees sensory and motor skills, while the occipital lobe processes vision, and the temporal lobe is crucial for hearing. Additionally, it outlines the cranial nerves, including olfactory for smell, optic for sight, and others, detailing tests for assessing their functions, such as vision tests and facial symmetry.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Anatomy & Physiology Lobes of the Brain Cranial Nerves

  2. Lobes of the Brain • Frontal lobe • Top, front region • Responsible for emotions, reasoning, memory, judgment, speech • Parietal • Middle portion • Responsible for sensory & motor skills

  3. Lobes of the Brain • Occipital • Back portion • Responsible for vision, reading ability • Temporal • Lower side of the brain • Responsible for hearing

  4. Cranial Nerves

  5. Cranial Nerves • Nerve I (Olfactory Nerve) • Smell • Test = Assess patency: occlude nostril & smell various smells • Nerve II (Optic Nerve) • Sight • Test = Assess peripheral vision (Confrontation test)

  6. Cranial Nerves • Nerve III (Oculomotor) {Pupil contriction} • Nerve IV (Trochlear) {Down/Inward eye movement) • Nerve VI (Abducens) {Side to side eye movement} • Assess pupil constriction • 6 Cardinal Position of Gaze

  7. Cranial Nerves • Nerve V (Trigeminal) • Motor function of temporal muscle & sensory of face • Test: Clench teeth test • Test: Assess sensory function – Cotton wisp

  8. Cranial Nerves • Nerve VII (Facial nerve) • Motor function of face • Test: Facial symmetry • Test: Assess strength (activities)

  9. Cranial Nerves • Nerve VIII (Acoustic nerve) • Hearing acuity • Test: Tuning fork test

  10. Cranial Nerves • Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal) • Nerve X (Vagus nerve) • Motor function (mouth, throat) • Test: Uvula test

  11. Cranial Nerve • Nerve XI (Spinal Accessory) • Motor function of neck & shoulder muscles • Test: Assess strength of neck & shoulder muscles

  12. Cranial Nerves • Nerve XII (Hypoglossal) • Motor function of the tongue • Test: Assess speech (light, tight, night)
