ciliary body; and proprioception (sensory) to brain from extraocular muscles
Drooping of the eyelid, eyeball moves outward, dilation of the pupil, double vision.
Cranial Nerve IV Function and sign of dysfunction Correct-Trochlear
Propioceptor and motor fibers for superior oblique muscle of eye (extraocular muscles)

,sensory, carries impulses for sense and smell
Loss or disturbance in the sense of smell

(swallowing, saliva, taste)
Mixed: 1. Motor fibers serve pharynx and salivary glands. 2. Sensory fibers carry impulses
from, pharynx, posterior tongue, and pressure receptor of carotid artery (blood pressure)
Disturbance of taste; Difficulty in swallowing
Cranial Nerve X Function and sign of dysfunction Correct-Vagus
