Cranial Nerves

Cranial nerves are a group of twelve pairs of nerves that arise directly from the brain and primarily control functions in the head and neck. Each nerve has specific roles, such as transmitting sensory information (like smell and vision), controlling muscle movements (like those of the face and eyes), and regulating body functions (such as heart rate). These nerves are crucial for various everyday activities, from seeing and hearing to taste and facial expressions, making them essential for our interaction with the world around us.
