Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cranial nerves: These 12 nerve pairs originate in your brain and extend through your face, head and neck. Cranial nerves can have sensory functions, motor functions or both. For example, cranial nerves help you make facial expressions, move your eyes and process smells.
