Table of Cranial Nerves
The cranial nerves are twelve pairs of nerves that emerge directly from the brain, including the brainstem, in contrast to the spinal nerves which emerge from segments of the spinal cord. Each cranial nerve has a specific function and is numbered based on its location from the front of the brain to the back. The following table provides an overview of the cranial nerves, their primary functions, and their anatomical pathways.
