Yes and no. There are nerves that innervate your skin and bones and meningeal coverings as well as the nerves that convey all of the input from your special sense organs but there are no "proper" nerves in your brain. In other words, your brain cannot feel anything itself. It can only interpret what other parts of your body are feeling.

What name refers to nerves that only originate in the brain carry messages to and from structures in the head and neck?
The nerves that originate in the brain and carry messages to and from structures in the head and neck are known as cranial nerves. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, each with specific functions related to sensory and motor control in the head and neck region. These nerves play crucial roles in activities such as vision, hearing, taste, and facial movements.
What name refers to nerves that only originate in the brain carry messages to and from structures in the head and neck and are considered part of the peripheral nervous sytem?
These are 12 pairs of nerves called the cranial nerves.
What part of the brain controls the cranial nerves in the face and head?
The cranial nerves that control the face and head are primarily managed by the brainstem, which includes the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. Specifically, the pons is crucial for the function of several facial nerves, including the trigeminal nerve (V) for sensation and the facial nerve (VII) for facial movement. Additionally, the medulla oblongata is involved in controlling functions associated with the glossopharyngeal (IX) and vagus (X) nerves. Overall, the brainstem integrates sensory and motor functions related to the cranial nerves.
Do chickens have two brains If not how does a chicken run without a head?
when a chicken has its head cut off, there are still nerves working in the body - with no head - it is these nerves that cause the chicken to run for a few seconds after death (I was told by a teacher at school that they just have a bundle of nerves in their neck, which explains how they can run around headless if their neck was severed close to the base of their head. I guess they would usually die of blood loss when this happens...)
What is the cranial nerves containing all or mostly motor fibers are?
The cranial nerves containing all or mostly motor fibers are the oculomotor (III), trochlear (IV), abducens (VI), accessory (XI), and hypoglossal (XII) nerves. These nerves are involved in controlling various muscles in the head and neck for functions such as eye movements, swallowing, and speech.
Which nerves go through openings in the skull and stimulate the head and neck?
cranial nerves.
What is the length of human bodys nerves?
There are close to 45 miles of nerves running from head to toe in the body. There are 43 pairs of nerves in this system.
Which part of the brain is spplied by nerves?
The brainstem has nerves which extend outward to supply structures located mostly in the head and neck. These are called the cranial nerves.

What are the parts of the nerves cells?
The head, axon and the nerve endings
Are the Vagus Nerves the only cranial nerves to extend beyond the head and neck region?
no, they are not, we are taking this test now haha
Does peripheral refer to torso and head?
Peripheral nerves may refer to the head and torso. The peripheral nerves carry information from the spinal cord to the rest of the body as well as information to and from the brain.
Haw many nerves in human head?
There are TONS of nerves in the head, but the main ones people are required to learn in college level anatomy courses are the 12 cranial nerves. Wikipedia has an article that lists them all and their function: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerves
What name refers to nerves that only originate in the brain carry messages to and from structures in the head and neck and are considered part of the peripheral nervous system?
Cranial nervesCranial Nerves only originate in the brain and carry messages to and from structures in the head and neck.
Are nerves in your head connected to your arms?
Yes, nerves in your head are connected to your arms through the central nervous system. Signals from your brain travel down the spinal cord and out to your arms through the nerves, allowing you to control movements and feel sensations in your arms.
Where are the occipital nerves located?
The greater and lesser occipital nerves run from the region where the spinal column meets the neck (the sub-occipital region) up to the scalp at the back of the head.
The only cranial nerves to extend beyond the head and neck region are the vagus nerves?
Yes, that's correct. The vagus nerves are the only cranial nerves that extend beyond the head and neck region, reaching far into the abdomen and thorax. They are responsible for a variety of functions including regulating the heart, lungs, and digestive system.
