The cranial sensory nerve for smell
Occulomoter III
Olfactory I
Optic II
Trochlear IV
Cranial sensory nerve for vision
Optic II
Occulomoter III
Trochlear IV
Abducens VI
Cranial sensory nerve that supplies four of the six extrinsic eye muscles that allow the eyeball to orbit
Oculomotor III
Optic II
Olfactory I
Hypoglossal
Cranial sensory nerve that innervates an extrinsic eye muscle that loops through a pulley-shaped ligament in the orbit
Trochlear IV
Oculomotor III
Optic II
Trigeminal V
Cranial sensory nerve that three branches spring from. The largest cranial nerve. It supplies sensory fibers to the face and motor fibers to the chewing muscles
Trigeminal V
Vagus X
Glossopharyngeal IX
Facial nerve VII
This nerve controls the extrinsic eye muscle that abducts the eyeball (turns it laterally)
Optic II
Abducens VI
Trochlear IV
Oculomotor III
A large nerve that innervates muscles of facial expression (among other things)
Vagus X
Trigeminal V
Optic nerve II
Facial VII
This mostly sensory nerve for hearing and balance was formerly called the auditory nerve
trigeminal V
vestibulocochlear VIII
facial VII
vagus X
The name of this nerve means tongue and pharynx, the structures that this nerve helps to innervate.
Vagus X
Hypoglossal XII
Trigeminal V
Glossopharyngeal IX
This nerve's name means "wanderer" or "vagabond" and it is the only cranial nerve to extend beyond the head and neck to the thorax and abdomen.
Trigeminal V
Accessory XI
Hypoglossal XII
Vagus X
Considered an accessory part of the vagus nerve. This nerve was formerly called the spinal accessory nerve.
Accessory XI
Trigeminal V
Hypoglossal XII
Vagus X
This nerve's name means "under the tongue" and runs inferior to the tongue and innervates the tongue muscles.
Vagus X
Hypoglossal XII
Trigeminal V
