Nerve :-A nerve is an enclosed, cable- like bundle of axons (the long, slender projections of neurons) A cranial nerve nucleus:- is a collection head of neurons brain stem. Ganglia :-mass of nerve cell bodies out of brain
Sensory nerves are afferent nerves, they go to the brain. This makes sense because all the information from your senses are incoming to the brain. When you touch something hot neurons fire from the fingers to the brain. Motor nerves are efferent nerves which exit the brain. When you want to move an arm, axons fire from the brain to the arm.
The nervous system is the part of an animal's body that coordinates the voluntary and involuntary actions of the animal

Cranial Nerve I
Component: Sensory Function: Smell Opening to the Skull: Openings in cribriform plate of ethmoid Origin: The olfactory mucosa of the upper part of the nasal cavity.
Cranial Nerve I: Olfactory
Component: Sensory Function: Vision Opening to the Skull: Optic Canal Origin: Back of the eyeball retina of the eye
Component: Motor Function: Raises upper eyelid Turns eyeball upward, downward and medially Constricts pupil Accommodates the eye Opening to the Skull: Superior orbital fissure Origin: Anterior surface of the midbrain
Component: Motor Function: Assisting in turning eyeball downward Opening to the Skull: Superior orbital fissure Origin: Posterior surface of the midbrain
