The Most Detailed Cranial Nerve Examination (Testing, Indication Trigger) 🩺 Medical ASMR Roleplay
I heard you like cranial nerves, so I got you some cranial nerves for your cranial nerves. But for real: what even are the cranial nerves? We're going to break down all kinds of bits about them: their functions, a bit of their anatomy, the history of how humans found them (G-rated, of course), and all the relevant tests I could think of to test their function(s).
This is not an educational resource in a strict sense; I did a lot of research (linked below in the 'Attributions' section) but ultimately, I'm just an actor on the Internet that read through some articles and anatomy texts, so don't take it as gospel. This is just for relaxation & entertainment!
