Hypoglossal |
| This nerve transmits the sense of smell. |
Olfactory |

Optic |
| This is in charge of most eye movements. |
Oculomotor |
| This innervates the superior oblique muscle which intorts the eyeball. |
Trochlear |
| Receives sensation from the face and innervates the muscle of mastication. |
Trigeminal |
| This innervates the lateral rectus, which abducts the eye. |
Abducens |

Facial |
| Senses sound, rotation and gravity, which is essential for balance and movement. |
Vestibulocochlear |
| Receives taste from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, provides secretomotor innervation to the parotid gland, and provides motor innervation to the stylopharyngeus (essential for tactile, pain, and thermal sensation). |
Glossopharangeal |
| A major function: controls muscles for voice and resonance and the soft palate. |
Vagus |
| Controls muscles of the neck and trapezeus. |
