The Trochlear Nerve
The nerve IV of the cranial nerves is the trochlear nerve. It is responsible for controlling the superior oblique muscle of the eye, which helps with downward and inward eye movements. It is the smallest cranial nerve in terms of the number of axons it contains.
The smallest cranial nerve that provides motor impulses to the superior oblique muscle is the trochlear nerve, also known as cranial nerve IV. It is responsible for innervating the superior oblique muscle, which plays a crucial role in the movement of the eye, specifically in depression and intorsion. The trochlear nerve is unique as it is the only cranial nerve that emerges from the dorsal aspect of the brainstem.
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 second cranial nerve is the optic nerve.
The cranial nerve that innervates the ear is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It has two branches: the vestibular nerve that controls balance and the cochlear nerve that controls hearing.
The nerve IV of the cranial nerves is the trochlear nerve. It is responsible for controlling the superior oblique muscle of the eye, which helps with downward and inward eye movements. It is the smallest cranial nerve in terms of the number of axons it contains.

The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve, also known as cranial nerve X.
he trochlear nerve (the fourth cranial nerve, also called the fourth nerve, IV) is a motor nerve (a "somatic efferent" nerve) that innervates a single muscle: thesuperior oblique muscle of the eye.The trochlear nerve is unique among the cranial nerves in several respects. It is the smallest nerve in terms of the number of axons it contains.
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 optic nerve (cranial nerve II) is not involved in taste, as its primary function is vision. Taste is primarily mediated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX), and vagus nerve (cranial nerve X).
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
The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve.
Cranial Nerve 2 - Optic Nerve
Nerve X, Vagus
The vestibulocochlear cranial nerve controls hearing.
