Categorize Cranial Nerve Functions For each cranial nerve, place the label in the appropriate box, categorizing it based on function. Primarily Motor Fibers: - Oculomotor n. - Olfactory n. - Abducens n. - Hypoglossal n. - Accessory n. Only Sensory Fibers: - Trigeminal n. - Vestibulocochlear n. - Trochlear n. - Glossopharyngeal n. Both Motor and Sensory Fibers: - Optic n. - Facial n. - Vagus n.
