NERVOUS SYSTEM. 59 



IV. Trochlearis (or Patheticus). 



V. Trigeminal (or Trifacial). 



VI. Abducens. 



VII. Facial. 



VIII. Auditory. 



IX. Glossopharyngeal. 



X. Vagus (or Pneumogastric). 



XI. Spinal Accessory (or Accessory of Willis). 



XII. Hypoglossal. 



As has been described, the spinal nerves contain both sen- 

 sory and motor roots. The cranial nerves present some dif- 

 ferences from this. Thus nerves I., II., and VIII. are purely

 are mixed, i.e., contain both motor and sensory fibres. 



Both the olfactory and the optic nerves are usually regarded 

 as differing from all other cranial nerves in that they arise as
