This document provides information about the 12 cranial nerves, including their name, pathway, type, sensory and motor functions, and associations with the autonomic nervous system or branchial arches. It lists each nerve's name, pathway through the skull, whether it is sensory (S), motor (M), or both (B), and its normal functions related to sensation, voluntary movement, autonomic processes, and special senses like taste or hearing.
