Olfactory Nerve ( sensory ) - The olfactory nerve originates in the part of the brain called

the olfactory bulb. It functions in controlling the sense of smell (olfaction).

Optic Nerve ( sensory ) - The optic nerve originates in the eye and carries information to
the brain for vision.

Oculomotor Nerve( motor ) - The oculomotor nerve, is the nerve that controls eye
movement and pupil constriction. 

Trochlear Nerve ( motor ) - The trochlear nerve innervates superior oblique

turns eye downward and laterally

Trigeminal Nerve ( mixed ) - The trigeminal nerve and controls the touch and pain
sensations from the face and head. The trigeminal nerve also controls the muscles used for
chewing. 

Abducens Nerve ( motor ) - The abducens nerve turns eye laterally .

Facial Nerve ( mixed ) - The facial nerve controls taste on the front two-thirds of the
tongue. It also receives information from the ear and controls the muscles of facial expression.

Vestibulocochlear Nerve ( sensory ) - The vestibulocochlear nerve controls hearing and

balance. 

Glossopharyngeal Nerve ( mixed ) - The glossopharyngeal nerve controls some functions of

swallowing as well as taste on the back third of the tongue. It conducts information from the
tongue, tonsils and pharynx (the cavity that connects the mouth and nasal passages with the
esophagus). 
Vagus Nerve ( sensory ) - The vagus nerve senses aortic blood pressure 
slows heart rate stimulates digestive organs taste .

Spinal Accessory Nerve ( motor ) - The spinal accessory nerve controls the muscles of head
movement.

Hypoglossal Nerve ( motor ) - The hypoglossal nerve serves to control the muscles of the
tongue.
Angle of Louis The sternal angle or 'angle of Louis', from the Latin angulus Ludovici is the anterior angle formed by

the junction of the manubrium and the body of the sternum (themanubriosternal junction) in the form of a secondary

cartilaginous joint (symphysis). This is also called the manubriosternal joint or Angle of Louis. The sternal angle is a palpable

clinical landmark.

It marks the approximate level of the 2nd pair of costal cartilages and the level of the intervertebral disc between T4 and T5.

It also marks approximately the beginning and end of the aortic arch, and the bifurcation of the trachea into the left and right

main bronchi.

The angle is approximately 140 degrees.

It is named after Pierre Charles Alexandre Louis, a French physician of the 19th century, who was one of the first to bring

mathematics to medicine, disproving bloodletting as a practice by showing statistically that it did not work.

Point of maximum impulse (PMI) the place where the apical pulse is palpated as
strongest, often in the fifth intercostal space of the thorax, just medial to the left midclavicular
line.
