    • smell
    • sensory
  2. Optic
    • innervates retina of the eye
    • vision
    • sensory
  3. Oculo-motor
    • innervates four of the six external eye muscles: sup. & inf. rectus, medial rectus, & inf. oblique. Muscle of the eyelids (levator palpebrae superioris): parasympathetic fibers to iris and ciliary bodies
    • motor
  4. Trochlear
    • superior oblique muscles of the eyes
    • motor
