Question

Which of the following sentence is correct for cranial nerve?

• A. It is only connected with parasympathetic path
• B. It is associated with sympathetic pathway
• C. Originates from spinal cord
• D. It transports both motor and sensory impulses

Answer 1

The correct option is D It transports both motor and sensory impulses

• Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain including the brain stem.
• The cranial nerves provide motor and sensory innervation mainly to the structures within the head and neck. The cranial nerve is associated with both sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways. Hence cranial nerve transports both motor and sensory impulses.
• So, the correct answer is 'It transports both motor and sensory impulses'.
