A receptor that monitors stretch of the stomach can be classified as a
mechanoreceptor and interoceptor.
Which cranial nerve pairs do not pass through the superior orbital fissures?

Three "seeing/vision" nuclei that occupy the midbrain of humans are the
superior colliculi, motor nucleus for oculomotor nerve, and motor nucleus for trochlear nerve.
