1. cranial nerve

   Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), of which there are conventionally considered twelve pairs. Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck, including the special senses of vision, taste, smell, and hearing.The cranial nerves emerge from the central nervous system above the level of the first vertebra of the vertebral column. Each cranial nerve is paired and is present on both sides. There are conventionally twelve pairs of cranial nerves, which are described with Roman numerals I–XII. Some considered there to be thirteen pairs of cranial nerves, including cranial nerve zero. The numbering of the cranial nerves is based on the order in which they emerge from the brain and brainstem, from front to back.The terminal nerves (0), olfactory nerves (I) and optic nerves (II) emerge from the cerebrum, and the remaining ten pairs arise from the brainstem, which is the lower part of the brain.The cranial nerves are considered components of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), although on a structural level the olfactory (I), optic (II), and trigeminal (V) nerves are more accurately considered part of the central nervous system (CNS).The cranial nerves are in contrast to spinal nerves, which emerge from segments of the spinal cord.

1. cranial nerve

   A cranial nerve is one of twelve pairs of nerves that emerge directly from the brain, as opposed to spinal nerves which emerge from segments of the spinal cord. These nerves control various functions like the senses, motor skills, and parasympathetic functions of the head and neck. They transmit information between the brain and different parts of the body, directly facilitating sight, hearing, taste, smell, and feelings in the face.

1. Cranial nerve

   Cranial nerves are nerves that emerge directly from the brain, in contrast to spinal nerves, which emerge from segments of the spinal cord. In humans, there are traditionally twelve pairs of cranial nerves. Only the first and the second pair emerge from the cerebrum; the remaining ten pairs emerge from the brainstem. The cranial nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system with the exception of cranial nerve II or 'optic nerve', along with the retina, which is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon. Cranial nerve ganglia originate in the central nervous system. The remaining eleven axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS.
