    The brain is the coordinating center of the central nervous system located within the cranium. It is composed of three main parts - the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that originate from the brain and each has a specific function, such as the olfactory nerve for smell and the optic nerve for vision. The cranial nerves control functions like eye movement, facial expressions, hearing, balance, swallowing, speech, and movement of the shoulders and neck.

    HANDOUT
    BRAIN & CRANIAL NERVES
    INTRODUCTION :- The nervous system is our body's decision and communication center.
    The central nervous system (CNS) is made of the brain and the spinal cord and the peripheral
    nervous system (PNS) is made of nerves. The brain and spinal cord are the two main
    structures of the central nervous system.

    DEFINITION:- Brain is an organ made up of soft nervous tissue which is present inside the
    cranium, function as the coordinating centre of sensation & intellectual and nervous activity.

    STRUCTURE OF BRAIN
    The brain is made of three main parts:
     Forebrain.(Prosencephalon)
     Diencephalon
     Cerebrum
     Midbrain.(Mesencephalon)
     Tectum
     Tegmentum
     Hindbrain.(Rhombencephalon)
     Cerebellum
     Pons
     Medulla oblongata

    CRANIAL NERVES
    There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves originating from the nuclei in the inferior surface of the
    brain, some sensory ,some motor and some mixed.

    I. Olfactory Nerve: Responsible for sense of smell


    II. Optic Nerve: Plays a role in vision
    III. Oculomotor Nerve: Controls movement of the eyeballs and eyelids
    IV. Trochlear Nerve: Also involved in movement of the eye
    V. Trigeminal Nerve: Performs a wide variety of functions, including chewing and
    facial sensation.
    VI. Abducent Nerve: Involved in eye movement
    VII. Facial Nerve: Controls taste and facial expressions
    VIII. Vestibulocochlear Nerve: Responsible for hearing and balance
    IX. Glossopharyngeal Nerve: Responsible for controlling saliva, taste, and swallowing
    X. Vagus Nerve: Plays a role in the motion of the lungs, throat, heart and digestive
    system
    XI. Accessory Nerve: Moves the shoulders and neck
    XII. Hypoglossal Nerve: Controls speech, tongue, and swallowing
