Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Cranial nerves are used to communicate to all parts of the body from the brain. There are twelve types; 1 to 12 cranial nerves are present in the human body. All cranial nerves enter the brain through the spinal cord. Each nerve has a distinctive function and specific name. Most of the cranial nerves arise from the brain stem and control the muscles in the head and neck; the largest one that controls the facial muscles is the trigeminal nerve.
