AB The  12  pairs  of  cranial  nerves  are  referred  to  by  either  name  or  Roman  numeral  (Fig  8–1  and  Table  8–1).  Note  that  the  olfactory  peduncle  (see  Chapter  19)  and  the  optic  nerve  (see  Chapter  15)  are  not  true  nerves  but  rather  fiber  tracts  of  the  brain,  whereas  nerve  XI  (the  spinal  accessory  nerve)  is  derived,  in  part,  from  the  upper  cervical  segments  of  the  spinal  cord.  The  remaining  nine  pairs  relate  to  the  brain  stem.
