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 our 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 muscle in head and neck, and the largest one that controls the facial muscles is the trigeminal nerve.
