it is the vegus nerve.
vagus nerve
The parasympathetic fibers of the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) control the contraction of the circular smooth muscle of the iris, causing pupil constriction.
The cranial nerve X (Vagus Nerve) is involved for digestion. It stimulates the stomach and releases gastric juices including water, pepsin and hydrochloric acid which is needed for digestion.
Trigeminal V: a mixed nerve responsible for the chewing of food and sensations in the face, scalp, and teeth and the contraction of chewing muscles.
The brain lies within the cranial cavity which is inside the larger dorsal cavity
Cranial Nerves 1-2 Cranial Nerves 3-4 belong to the midbrain. Cranial Nerves 5-8 belong to the pons. Cranial Nerves 9-12 belong to the hindbrain.
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
How many cranial nerves are there
Rats have twelve pairs of cranial nerves.
The cranial is located in the skull, the head of the human body, since the word "cranial" has something to do with the head.
The somatic nervous system controls the skeletal system and voluntary movement by stimulating muscle contraction. Parts of the somatic nervous system are spinal nerves, cranial nerves, association nerves.
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
