Oculomotor Nerve
- the third cranial nerve
- contains both sensory and motor fibers
- provide for muscle sense and movement in most of the muscles of the eye, for constriction of the pupil,and for accommodation of the eye
17

Abducens Nerve
- the sixth cranial nerve
- it arises from the pons
- supplies the lateral rectus muscle of the eyeball, allowing for motion
18

Trochlear Nerve
- the fourth cranial nerve
- it supplies muscle sense and the impulse for movement to the superior oblique muscle of the eyeball
19
Trigeminal Nerve
- the fifth cranial nerve
- it arises in the pons
- is composed of sensory and motor fibers
- has three divisions: ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular
