Question 1 of 5
Which among cranial nerves are mixed nerves that supply parasympathetic to viscera of thorax and abdomen?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The vagus nerve (CN X) is a mixed nerve with parasympathetic innervation to thoracic and abdominal viscera. Trigeminal (CN V) is sensory/motor for the face, accessory (CN XI) is motor, and abducens (CN VI) controls eye movement.
Question 2 of 5

Question 4 of 5

Question 5 of 5
The rectus eye muscle capable of causing the eyeball to turn laterally in a horizontal plane is innervated by which cranial nerve?
