Cranial Nerves, Cross Section

Understand the cranial nerves and how they affect specific areas of the body in order to ensure appropriate neurological function.

The cranial nerves are a set of 12 pairs of nerves that originate from the brain and primarily control the sensory and motor functions of the head and neck. These nerves have different functions, such as controlling facial expressions, eye movement, taste sensation, hearing, balance, and regulating various bodily functions.

We absolutely adore the old hand drawn anatomy illustrations and the intention with this artwork has been to honour their particular style, while combining it with a modern approach to patient education. Throughout our vintage collection, the names and labels have all been positioned to point towards the very centre of each artwork, an effect that is further enhanced with our signature dotted lines. This technique has given the informative texts an added function as a graphic element by itself; not to distract from the original source materials, but to complement it.
