Nerves in the skull are located in specific areas, primarily emerging from openings and structures within the skull.
The provided reference highlights the locations of specific cranial nerves:
- The olfactory nerves emerge from the olfactory bulbs on either side of the crista galli, which is a bony projection located below the frontal lobe of the brain.
- The optic nerves (II) emerge from the lateral colliculus, swellings on either side of the temporal lobes of the brain.
While the reference only specifies these two nerves, many other cranial nerves pass through or originate within the skull.
