Optic nerve and occulomotor nerve
The cranial nerves involved in diplopia are the third (oculomotor), fourth (trochlear), and sixth (abducens) cranial nerves, which control eye movement and coordination. Issues with these nerves can result in misalignment of the eyes, leading to double vision.
Sharks have 12 pairs of cranial nerves. These nerves are responsible for functions such as vision, smell, and movement in sharks.
The only two cranial nerves that are completely sensory are the olfactory nerve (I) for smell and the optic nerve (II) for vision.
The brain communicates directly with structures like the eyes, ears, face, tongue, and muscles in the head and neck via the cranial nerves. These nerves are responsible for controlling various functions such as vision, hearing, taste, and facial expressions.
Cranial nerves arise from the brain and are responsible for functions such as facial muscles, vision, and taste. Sacral nerves arise from the lower spinal cord and control functions of the pelvis and lower extremities.

The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) is not involved in taste, as its primary function is vision. Taste is primarily mediated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX), and vagus nerve (cranial nerve X).
Cranial nerves are primarily sensory. These nerves are directly between the brain and the brainstem and are responsible for smell, vision, eye movement, facial sensation, and the tongue movement.
Each eye has one nerve for vision, the optic nerve, Cranial Nerve II. Nerves are actually bundles of many nerve fibers. There are nerves that supply impulses for the muscles associated with the eyeballs so they can move are the Cranial Nerve III, Oculomotor, Cranial Nerve IV, Trochlear, and Cranial Nerve VI, the Abducens nerve.

The cranial nerves have various functions related to sensory, motor, or both. Some cranial nerves are primarily sensory, transmitting information from the senses like taste, smell, and vision to the brain. Others are mainly motor, controlling movements of the face, head, and neck muscles. Some cranial nerves have both sensory and motor functions, allowing for a combination of sensory input and motor control.

Neurological examination typically involves evaluation of mental status, cranial nerves, motor function, sensory function, coordination, and reflexes. Specific questions may include assessing memory, orientation, language, vision, hearing, strength, sensation, coordination, and reflex responses. It is important to tailor the questions based on the patient's symptoms and concerns.
The nerves that originate in the brain and carry messages to and from structures in the head and neck are known as cranial nerves. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, each with specific functions related to sensory and motor control in the head and neck region. These nerves play crucial roles in activities such as vision, hearing, taste, and facial movements.
In sheep brains, the optic nerve (cranial nerve II) appears to be highly developed due to its large size relative to the other cranial nerves. This is because sheep rely heavily on their vision for survival and navigation.
