Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first (olfactory), second (optic), and eighth (vestibulocochlear) cranial nerves are sensory nerves. The olfactory nerve is responsible for the sense of smell, the optic nerve is responsible for vision, and the vestibulocochlear nerve is responsible for both hearing and balance. None of these nerves descend in the corticospinal tract or carry sensory information to the occipital lobe.
