∙ 12y agoThere are three cranial nerves that innervates muscle to move the eye. The main cranial nerve that controls eye movement is occulomotor nerve (CN III). It is responsible for inferior rectus, superior rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique.
Lateral rectus muscle is innervated by abducens nerve (CN VI).
Superior oblique muscle is innervated by trochlear nerve (CN III).

The olfactory nerve (Cranial Nerve I) is responsible for the sense of smell. It transmits sensory information related to smell from the nose to the brain.
The cranial nerve used when smelling a flower is the olfactory nerve (cranial nerve I). It is responsible for your sense of smell.
The lateral rectus muscle is controlled by cranial nerve VI, also known as the abducens nerve. This muscle is responsible for moving the eye outward, away from the nose.
The cranial nerve responsible for both equilibrium and hearing is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It has two main branches: the vestibular branch, which is associated with balance and equilibrium, and the cochlear branch, which is associated with hearing.
The vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII, is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the cochlea of the inner ear (responsible for hearing) and the semicircular canals (responsible for balance) to the brainstem.
The cranial nerve responsible for moving the cheek muscles is cranial nerve V (the trigeminal nerve). However, cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) and cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) are also involved in moving the tongue, the throat for swallowing and the muscles along the floor of the jaw.
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic Nerve
The olfactory nerve (Cranial Nerve I) is responsible for the sense of smell. It transmits sensory information related to smell from the nose to the brain.
The cranial nerve used when smelling a flower is the olfactory nerve (cranial nerve I). It is responsible for your sense of smell.
Cranial nerve II is called the optic nerve. It is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain.
The abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI) controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which is responsible for abducting (moving the eye away from the nose) the eye. Dysfunction of the abducens nerve can result in horizontal double vision (diplopia) and difficulty moving the affected eye laterally.
Cranial nerve 9: glossopharyngeal
Smell impulses are carried by the cranial nerve called the olfactory nerve (cranial nerve I). It is responsible for transmitting information about odors from the nose to the brain.
The lateral rectus muscle is controlled by cranial nerve VI, also known as the abducens nerve. This muscle is responsible for moving the eye outward, away from the nose.
equilibrium, taste, tears, and tongue movement
The cranial nerve that controls hearing and body balance is the vestibulocochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve VIII. It has two main branches: the cochlear branch, responsible for hearing, and the vestibular branch, responsible for balance and spatial orientation.
The oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) is responsible for the reflex constriction of the pupil in response to light and accommodation.
