phases of action potential

carries impulse for the sense of smell

carries impulses for vision

supplies motor fibers to four to six muscles that direct the eyeball; to the eyelid; and to the internal muscles controlling the lens and pupil

supplies motor fibers for one external eye muscle

conducts sensory impulses from the skin of the face and mucosa of the nose and mouth; also contains motor fibers that activate the chewing muscles

supplies motor fibers to the lateral rectus muscle, which rolls the eye laterally

fibers leave the pons and run to the face

transmit impulses for the sense of balance and hearing

motor fibers to the pharynx that promote swallowing and saliva production; taste buds

carry sensory and motor impulses to the pharynx, larynx, and the abdominal and thoracic viscera; promote digestive activities; regulate heart activities

motor fibers that activate the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles

motor fibers control tongue movements; sensory fibers carry impulses from the tongue
