The cranial nerve III is ___________.
- AFacial
- BTrigeminal
- Correct answerCOcculomotor
- DVagus
Solution
The cranial nerves are numbered using Roman numerals based on their order from the front of the brain to the back.
Cranial nerve I is the Olfactory nerve.
Cranial nerve II is the Optic nerve.
Cranial nerve III is the Oculomotor (Occulomotor) nerve.
Cranial nerve IV is the Trochlear nerve.
Cranial nerve V is the Trigeminal nerve.
Cranial nerve VII is the Facial nerve.
Cranial nerve X is the Vagus nerve.
Therefore, the cranial nerve III is the Occulomotor nerve.
Answer: Occulomotor
Cranial nerve I is the Olfactory nerve.
Cranial nerve II is the Optic nerve.
Cranial nerve III is the Oculomotor (Occulomotor) nerve.
Cranial nerve IV is the Trochlear nerve.
Cranial nerve V is the Trigeminal nerve.
Cranial nerve VII is the Facial nerve.
Cranial nerve X is the Vagus nerve.
Therefore, the cranial nerve III is the Occulomotor nerve.
Answer: Occulomotor
