As we have learnt:

Cranial Nerves

  • Cranial nerves are the 12 nerves of the peripheral nervous system that emerge from the foramina and fissures of the cranium. 
  • Their numerical order (1-12) is determined by their skull exit location.
  • All cranial nerves originate from nuclei in the brain. 
  • Two originate from the forebrain (Olfactory and Optic), one has a nucleus in the spinal cord (Accessory) while the remainder originates from the brainstem.
