This document discusses cranial nerves III, IV, and VI. Cranial nerve III is the oculomotor nerve, which controls several eye movement muscles. Cranial nerve IV is the trochlear nerve, which controls the superior oblique muscle. Cranial nerve VI is the abducens nerve, which controls the lateral rectus muscle. The document provides details on the functions of each nerve and symptoms that can result from lesions or damage to each individual nerve.
