Question

You will provide a story based on the cranial nerves. You should tell the story of a complex action that involves at least 6 of the twelve cranial nerves (for example, drinking a cup of tea). Your story should include a clear description of an every day action and clearly identify the cranial nerves involved and the role that they play.

Edit: Should be understandable now :)

Answer 1

There are 12 pairs of Cranial Nerves, which help in bringing the information.

Let us bake a cake now, to bake a cake you first need to procure all the ingredients that are in your kitchen shelves. This involves the use of Optic Nerve (For Vision),Trochlear Nerve (Eye movement- suggest what should catch our attention), Oculomotor Nerve (Eye Movement-suggest what should catch our attention and Pupil Constriction- Regulates the amount of light entering which helps in improving the vision), Abduscens Nerve (Eye Movement-suggest what should catch our attention and the required is taken), now if you want to identify the ingredients by sense of touch, then comes the action of trigeminal nerve (for sense of touch and pain, and also used for chewing). Once you finished baking the cake, and if you are able to identify it through the smell that your cake is finished it is through Olfactory Nerve (smell identification) you taste it using glossopharyngeal nerve and facial nerve which are involved in the tasting of a food.
