Transcript text: (1) Olfactory nerve (I) - Sense of smell
(2) Optic nerve (II) - Vision
(3) Vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII) - Hearing and balance
(4) Facial nerve (VII) - Facial expressions and taste
Solution
The matches between the cranial nerves and their functions are as follows:
(1) Olfactory nerve (I) - Sense of smell
The olfactory nerve is responsible for transmitting sensory information related to smell from the nose to the brain.
(2) Optic nerve (II) - Vision
The optic nerve carries visual information from the retina of the eye to the brain, enabling the sense of sight.
(3) Vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII) - Hearing and balance
This nerve is involved in transmitting sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain.
(4) Facial nerve (VII) - Facial expressions and taste
The facial nerve controls the muscles of facial expression and also conveys taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
In summary, the correct matches are:
Olfactory nerve (I): Sense of smell
Optic nerve (II): Vision
Vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII): Hearing and balance
