We have twelve cranial nerves as part of the peripheral nervous system. Though they exit the cranium and are mostly associated with senses and functions of the head, they have far reaching affects, all the way down into the abdominal organs. They are as follows:
I. Olfactory
II. Optic
III. Oculomotor
IV. Trochlear
V. Trigeminal
VI. Abducens
VII. Facial
VIII. Vestibulocochlear
IX. Glossopharyngeal
X. Vagus
XI. Spinal Accessory
XII. Hypoglossal
It is the Vagus nerve that has the farthest reaching affects, including the heat, lungs, and gastrointestinal system.
