Answer 1

The cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves that originate from the brain and the brain stem. Some of these nerves bring information from the sense organs to the brain; some cranial nerves control muscles and other cranial nerves are connected to glands or internal organs such as the heart and lungs. Optic, olfactory, auditory and oculomotor nerves are cranial nerves associated with various sense organs.
