Twelve pairs of nerves that emerge directly from the underside of the brain. Each of the nerves has a number as well as a name. The numbers indicate the sequence in which the nerves emerge from the brain.
The main function of some cranial nerves is to deliver sensory information from the ears, nose, and eyes to the brain.
These are the vestibulocochlear nerve (hearing and balance), olfactory nerve (smell), and optic nerve (vision). Other cranial nerves carry impulses that move muscles of the head and neck area. These are the oculomotor, trochlear, and abducent nerves (movements of the eye), spinal accessory nerve (head and shoulder movements), and hypoglossal nerve (tongue movements).
Some cranial nerves have both sensory and motor functions. These are the facial nerve (facial expressions, taste, and the secretion of saliva and tears) trigeminal nerve (facial sensation and jaw movements) and glossopharyngeal nerve (taste and swallowing movements). The vagus nerve has branches to all the main digestive organs, the heart, and the lungs, and is a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is concerned with maintaining the body’s automatic functions.
All but 2 of the cranial nerve pairs connect with nuclei in the brainstem (the olfactory and optic nerves link directly with parts of the cerebrum). The nerves emerge through openings in the cranium; many then soon divide into branches.
Cranial nerves are those arising from the BRAIN.
the 12 pairs of nerves that arise directly from the brain and leave the skull through separate apertures; they are conventionally given Roman numbers, as follows: I *olfactory; II *optic; III *oculomotor; IV *trochlear; V *trigeminal; VI *abducens; VII *facial; VIII *vestibulocochlear; IX *glossopharyngeal; X *vagus; XI *accessory; XII *hypoglossal. Compare spinal nerves.
These are five pairs of CNS nerves that exit through the sacral foramen and sacral hiatus, and bring information in and out of the spinal cord. Much of their function relates to the sciatic nerve, and they bring information in from the skin sensory zones (dermatomes) of the heel, back of the legs, buttocks, and the pelvic floor.... sacral nerves
Nerve damage can include neuropathy or neuritis, which can be caused by diabetes, nerve injury, autoimmune disease, viral infections, muscle spasms or vitamin deficiencies.
Traditional medicine found a lot of treatments for nerve damage, but alternative medicine fans think that you don’t need to take a lot of pills for something that can be treated with just a cup of tea.

Don’t take more than 2 cups per day for a short amount of time and don’t combine it with anti-depressants and sedatives.

sympathetic nerves that supply muscle fibres in the skin, around the roots of hairs. Activity of the sympathetic nervous system causes the muscles to contract, raising the hairs and giving the *gooseflesh effect of fear or cold.... pilomotor nerves
Small nerve ?bres that lie upon the walls of blood vessels and connect the muscle ?bres of their middle coat with the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Through these nerves the blood vessels are retained in a state of moderate contraction. There are vasodilator nerves, through which are transmitted impulses that dilate the vessels, and, in the case of the skin vessels, produce the condition of blushing; there are also vasoconstrictor nerves which transmit impulses that constrict, or narrow, the blood vessels – as occurs on exposure to cold (see HYPOTHERMIA). Various drugs produce dilatation or contraction of the blood vessels, and several of the substances produced by ENDOCRINE GLANDS in the body have these effects: for example, ADRENALINE.... vasomotor nerves
