Cranial nerves

View through CrossRef
This section discusses the cranial nerve. Cranial nerves are important structures involved with special functions of smell, sight, lacrimation, hearing, balance, taste, facial movement, mastication and swallowing. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves which are named anatomically by the level at which they exit the brain and brainstem, with lower numbered cranial nerves exiting superior and anterior to higher numbered ones.
