    The document provides an overview of cranial nerves and their functions, as well as anatomical structures and relationships in the head and neck region.

    The cranial nerves are the optic nerve, olfactory nerve, oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, trigeminal nerve, abducens nerve, facial nerve, vestibulocochlear nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve, accessory nerve, and hypoglossal nerve. They have sensory, motor and mixed functions innervating structures of the head and neck.

    The cavernous sinus contains the oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, ophthalmic nerve, maxillary nerve, carotid artery, and abducent nerve.

    of Lateral or Medial:
    La: your jaw is now open, so Lateral pterygoid opens mouth.
    Me: your jaw is still closed, so Medial pterygoid closes the mandible.
