- from midbrain = CN 3 (oculomotor) + CN 4(trochlear)
- from lateral of pons = CN 5 (trigeminal)
- at lower border of pons = CN 6 (abducens) + CN 7(facial) + CN 8 (vestibulo-cochlear)
- from medulla = CN 9 (glossopharyngeal) + CN 10 (vagus) +CN 11 (accessory) + CN 12(hypoglossal)
Simply for addition, you must know that:
- CN that emerge close to midline = CN 3 + 6 + 12
- CN that emerge more laterally = CN 5 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11
- The only CN that emerge from dorsal aspect = CN 4

What do all cranial nerves control?
Cranial nerve V. is the trigeminal nerve. It got its name after its three branches. Two of the branches are pure sensory, the third is mixed motor and sensory. In short, it gathers sensory information from the scalp, eyelids, eyes (from the cornea and conjuntiva, NOT visual information), nose, cheeks, lips, teeth, gums, oral cavity and jaw. The motor fibers innervate muscles involved in chewing and swallowing.
What are the functions of cranial nerves in the human body?
Cranial nerves serve areas in the...cranium. Areas such as the eyes, mouth, and ears, and muscles of the face. The only exception to this rule is the Vagus nerve which serves heart, lungs, and the digestive system. List of 12 nerves and general area for functioning: I Olfactory:nose II Optic: eyes III Occulomotor: eyes IV Trochlear: eye V Trigeminal: sensory areas around center of face VI Abducens: eye VII Facial: salivary glands, muscles of face VIII Vestibulocochlear: ear IX Glossopharyngeal: throat X Vagus: heart, lungs, digestion XI Accessory: trapezius, sternonucleiod muscle XII Hypoglossal: tongue
What structure passes through each intervertebral foramen?
Spinal nerves. 7 pairs of cervical, 12 pairs of thoracic, 5 pairs of lumbar, 5 pairs of sacral, and 4 pairs of coccigeal spinal nerves.
What is the difference between Peripheral and Central Nervous system?
CNS is brain and spinal cord. PNS are the sensory and motor neurons. The PNS breaks down further into the autonomic and the sensory-somatic nervous system The autonomic breaks down further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
