Explanation / Answer

33. Visual pathway includes the optic nerves, optic chiasm, and optic tracts

True

The optic nerves from each eye unite to form the optic chiasm in the middle cranial fossa. At the chiasm the fibres from the medial half of each retina cross over, forms the optic tracts.

34. Cranial Nerve XII, the Hypoglossal nerve carries motor signals to tongue muscles for speech and swallowing

False

The hypoglossal nerve does not support speech signals for the tongue.
