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.

From where do most of the cranial nerves originate?
Most of the cranial nerves originate from the brainstem.
Where do the cranial nerves exit?
The cranial nerves exit from the brainstem. They emerge from specific openings in the skull called foramina, which are small bony passageways. These openings provide a pathway for the cranial nerves to exit the skull and innervate different parts of the head and neck.
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.
