Cranial Nerve Quizzes, Questions & Answers

Cranial/cerebral nerves emerge directly from the brain and the brainstem. It is through these cranial nerves that information is exchanged between the brain and various regions in the body, primarily the neck and the head. Cranial nerves fill a corresponding role above the level of spinal nerves which reach as far as the cervical vertebra.

Cranial nerves exist in pairs and are found on both sides of the brain. How many pairs of cranial nerves do human beings have? How are these pairs of nerves numbered? Cranial nerves perform different functions and are named according to these functions. For example, olfactory nerves deal with smell, optic nerves deal with sight. What does the trigeminal nerves, the oculomotor nerves, the abducens nerves, and the trochlear nerves, deal with? Our quizzes await you!
