Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -You have 12 cranial nerve pairs. Each nerve pair splits to serve the two sides of your brain and body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Contrary to popular belief, there are 13 cranial nerves. The thirteenth cranial nerve, commonly referred to as the nervus terminalis or terminal nerve, is a highly conserved multifaceted nerve found just above the olfactory bulbs in humans and most vertebrate species.
Detailed explanation-3: -All cranial nerves are paired, which means they occur on both the right and left sides of the body. The muscle, skin, or additional function supplied by a nerve, on the same side of the body as the side it originates from, is an ipsilateral function.
