Cranial Nerves

Cranial Nerves

To the tune of “Lonely Hearts Club” by MARINA 

[Verse 1]
Cranial nerve number one
Controls olfactory sensation
The second cranial nerve
Is the optic nerve

[Pre-Chorus]
Cranial nerves three, four, and six
Are all involved in eye movement

[Chorus]
Oculomotor
And the trochlear and abducens nerve
Oculomotor
And the trochlear and abducens nerve

 [Verse 2]
Cranial nerve number five
The trigeminal nerve provides
The face with sensory supply
And chewing muscles with motor supply

[Pre-Chorus]
Cranial nerve number seven
Provides the motor branches
To muscles for facial expression
This is the facial nerve’s function

[Chorus]
Vestibulocochlear nerve
Cranial nerve eight, with audition it’s associated
Glossopharyngeal nerve
Cranial nerve nine, provides sensory supply

[Bridge]
To the palate, sensory supply
To the palate, sensory supply
To the palate, sensory supply
To the palate

[Chorus]
Cranial nerve number ten
The vagus nerve provides, the pharynx with motor supply
Cranial nerve number eleven
Accessory nerve, for movement of neck and shoulders
Cranial nerve number twelve
Hypoglossal nerve, enables tongue movement
The cranial nerves
From the brain they indirectly emerge
The cranial nerves
From the brain they indirectly emerge
