Question

the number of pairs of cranial nerves in man
a)16
b)14
c)18
d)nucleus​

Answer 1

12 is the correct answer

most doctors claim to have 12 cranial nerves, whereas humans in fact have 24 (12 pairs). however, on semantic grounds, we probably have 26. the name “olfactory nerve” presupposes smell, a perception of an airborne chemical stimulus that reaches consciousness. pheromones are not smelt and thus, on semantic grounds, cannot be described as being detectable using olfactory mechanisms. although humans are said not to have a specific “pheromone nerve”, some part of the olfactory apparatus could fulfil the function of the vomeronasal nerve (nerve 0) as present in other vertebrates, but not, strictly speaking, in humans.
