Question

The ___________ nerves serve sensory and motor functions of eye muscles, the nose and tongue, and muscles of mastication.

Answer 1

Answer;

-Cranial nerves

The cranial nerves serve sensory and motor functions of eye muscles, the nose and tongue, and muscles of mastication.

Explanation;

-Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem). In contrast, spinal nerves emerge from segments of the spinal cord. Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck.

-Each cranial nerve is paired and is present on both sides. The numbering of the cranial nerves is based on the order in which they emerge from the brain, front to back.
