The cranial nerves are connected to the same side of the brain from which the sensory information originates, except for the optic nerve. Sensory input to the brain enters through pathways that travel through either the spinal cord (for somatosensory input from the body) or the brainstem (for everything else, except the visual and olfactory systems) to reach the diencephalon and thalamus.

Stimuli from varying sources, and of different types, are received and changed into the electrochemical signals of the nervous system. This occurs when a stimulus changes the cell membrane potential of a sensory neuron. The stimulus causes the sensory cell to produce an action potential that is relayed into the central nervous system (CNS).

The cochlea is responsible for hearing. The vestibule detects linear acceleration of the head. The semicircular canals sense the rotation of the head. Vision rely on photoreceptor cells within the retina of the eye that detect light and colors. The eyes are protected by the bones of the orbits, the eyelids, the tarsal glands, and the lacrimal apparatus.

Nerves are organized into structures by layers of connective tissue that cover them. The epineurium covers the nerve, the perineurium covers the fascicles and the endoneurium covers the individual axon. Cranial nerves originate from the brain and carry sensory, motor or mixed information. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves. Cranial nerve ganglia can be part of the somatic sensory NS or autonomic NS.
