Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), of which there are conventionally considered twelve pairs. Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck, including the special senses of vision, taste, smell, and hearing. [1]

The cranial component rapidly joins the vagus nerve, and there is ongoing debate about whether the cranial part should be considered part of the accessory nerve proper. [ 2 ] [ 1 ] Consequently, the term "accessory nerve" usually refers only to nerve supplying the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, also called the spinal accessory nerve .
Nerves have historically been considered the basic units of the peripheral nervous system. A nerve provides a common pathway for the electrochemical nerve impulses called action potentials that are transmitted along each of the axons to peripheral organs or, in the case of sensory nerves , from the periphery back to the central nervous system .

The clitoris has 10,000 nerve endings. Here's why experts say the discovery is 'just the beginning' for sexual health
Cranial nerves originate directly from the brain's surface: two from the cerebrum and the ten others from the brain stem. [2] Cranial roots differ from spinal roots: some of these roots do not separate into individual sensory and motor roots, but can emerge from one fusion root instead; [3] of the eleven cranial nerves, four express this concept of fusion.
