Video Summary
The cranial nerves are a set of 12 nerves that originate in the brainstem and exit the skull through openings in the base of the skull. They control several important functions such as vision, smell, hearing, and facial movement.
The 12 cranial nerves are olfactory (I), optic (II), oculomotor (III), trochlear (IV), trigeminal (V), abducens (VI), facial (VII), vestibulocochlear (VIII), glossopharyngeal (IX), vagus nerve(X) , accessory nerve(XI) , and hypoglossal nerve(XII).
