Cranial Nerves
16 resources created by 14 users
This Cranial Nerves page on GoConqr gathers community-made mind maps, flashcards and quizzes on nerve pathways, innervation and structures of the head and neck. It is for university students studying cranial nerves and teachers looking for material to use with students. A small set of university-level resources includes a few quizzes, alongside maps and flashcards. Start with a mind map, then try a quiz or a flashcard deck.

About Cranial Nerves
GoConqr OriginalStart with a map
Begin with the mind map Cranial Nerves CNI - CNXII for an overview of the nerves listed on the page. Use it to organize the names before moving on to more focused questions. You can return to the map as you study and check which nerves you want to look at again.
The other mind map covers autonomic ganglia in the head and neck and the pupillary light reflex. Explore it when you are ready to look more closely at those parts of the topic.
Practice with flashcards
The flashcard decks let you focus on particular questions. One asks about the facial nerve, including its motor branches and sensory supply. Another covers the optic and oculomotor nerves, including their passage and motor supply. A further deck asks about the vagus nerve and structures on the brainstem.
Choose a deck that matches the area you want to study. Try answering a question before checking the card, then return to the relevant mind map to place that question alongside the nerve names or structures you are studying.
Use a quiz to check your recall
After working through a map and a deck, try the quiz that asks which cranial nerve the superior alveolar nerve arises from. Its material identifies the maxillary nerve as a branch of the trigeminal nerve. Use questions like this to check whether you can recall a relationship without looking at the map first.
If a question is difficult, go back to the relevant resource and study that area again. You can then return to the quiz for another attempt.
Explore the unit
Cranial Nerves is one section of the Head and Neck unit in Anatomy. The resources on this page connect nerve names with questions about structures and innervation in the head and neck. Pick a resource that fits what you are studying and work through it at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I start with?
The mind map Cranial Nerves CNI - CNXII is a useful starting point if you want an overview of the nerve names. Follow it with a flashcard deck on an area you want to study more closely, such as the facial nerve. You can then try a quiz and return to the map when you need another look.
What do the mind maps cover?
One mind map lists cranial nerves, including the olfactory, optic, facial and trigeminal nerves. The other covers autonomic ganglia in the head and neck and the pupillary light reflex. Start with the nerve overview, or choose the ganglia map if that is the area you want to focus on.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open and study, and you can take the quizzes without an account. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The listed resources were made by GoConqr users.
What can I practice with the flashcards?
The decks include questions about the facial nerve, the passage of the optic nerve and the motor supply of the oculomotor nerve. Other questions cover the vagus nerve and structures on the brainstem. Choose a deck for the area you are studying, and use a mind map alongside it to review the related names and structures.
