The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve. It is considered as one of the most important of all the twelve cranial nerves. These twelve cranial nerves, the vagus nerve included, emerge from or enter the skull (the cranium), as opposed to the spinal nerves which emerge from the vertebral column. The vagus nerve originates in the medulla oblongata, a part of the brain stem.

The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
What Cranial nerve is equilibrium and hearing?
The cranial nerve responsible for hearing and equilibrium is vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It originates from between the pons and medulla.
What cranial nerve is involved in hyper extending and flexing the neck?
The hypoglossopharyngeal nerve. And your mom
How many nerves are in your eyes?
Each eye has one nerve for vision, the optic nerve, Cranial Nerve II. Nerves are actually bundles of many nerve fibers. There are nerves that supply impulses for the muscles associated with the eyeballs so they can move are the Cranial Nerve III, Oculomotor, Cranial Nerve IV, Trochlear, and Cranial Nerve VI, the Abducens nerve.
What number cranial nerve is the vagus nerve?
10
Which cranial nerve is attached to the cerebrum?
The cranial nerves that are attached to the medulla oblongata are the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and hypoglossal nerves. The glossopharyngeal nerve is the ninth cranial nerve that causes the tongue, throat, and parotid gland to function properly. The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve which helps with motor production, mainly regarding the process of voice production. The accessory nerve is the eleventh cranial muscle whose only function is motor function, mainly regarding the trapezius and sternocledomastoid muscles. Lastly, the hypoglossal nerve is the twelfth cranial nerve which helps in the proper functioning of the muscles under the tongue.
What cranial nerve is used when smelling a flower?
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
What is the Cranial nerve II called?
The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve.
What nerves are involved in diplopia?
The nerves involved in diplopia include three cranial nerves: the oculomotor nerve (third cranial nerve), the abducens nerve (sixth cranial nerve), and the trochlear nerve (fourth cranial nerve).
What is the nerve IV of the cranial nerves?
Cranial nerve 4 (IV) is the trochlear nerve.
What is the function of cranial nerves?
cranial nerve I: olfactory:smell cranial nerve II:optic:vision cranial nerve III: oculomotor: 4 of 6 eye muscles cranial nerve IV: trochlear: cranial nerve V: Trigeminal cranial nerve VI: Abducens cranial nerve VII: Facial cranial nerve VIII: Vestibulochlear: hearing cranial nerve IX: Grosspharnxgeal: saliva formation cranial nerve X: Vegus cranial nerve XI: Acessory Spinal: trapizious movement cranial nerve XII: Hypoglosseal: toungue movement
