by Thomas M. Yi (Editor)

Cranial Nerves: Anatomy, Function and Clinical Significance opens with a summary of the current data on the clinical anatomy and developmental anomalies of the first cranial nerve, the olfactory nerve.
Following this, the authors provide an overview of the second cranial nerve, the optic nerve, which is a vital component of the visual pathway.
The seventh cranial nerve, the facial nerve, which contains the somatic motor and visceral motor, as well as special sensory and general sensory fibers is discussed.
The 10th cranial nerve, the vagus nerve, is explored in closing, focusing on its motor functions responsible for the innervations of the outer ear canal, pharynx, larynx, heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract, stomach, pancreas and liver.
