  2. Facial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_nerve

    The facial nerve, also known as the seventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve VII, or simply CN VII, is a cranial nerve that emerges from the pons of the brainstem, controls the muscles of facial expression, and functions in the conveyance of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

  3. Zygomatic branches of the facial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomatic_branches_of_the...

    The zygomatic branches of the facial nerve (malar branches) are nerves of the face.They run across the zygomatic bone to the lateral angle of the orbit.Here, they supply the orbicularis oculi muscle, and join with filaments from the lacrimal nerve and the zygomaticofacial branch of the maxillary nerve (CN V 2).

  4. Temporal branches of the facial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_branches_of_the...

    The temporal branch of the facial nerve is typically found between the temporoparietal fascia (i.e., superficial temporal fascia) and temporal fascia (i.e., deep temporal fascia). This layer is also known as the innominate fascia. There are several methods using anatomic landmarks that may be used to find the temporal branch of the facial nerve.

  5. Cervical branch of the facial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_branch_of_the...

    The cervical branch of the facial nerve is a branch of the facial nerve (VII). It runs forward beneath the platysma muscle, and forms a series of arches across the side of the neck over the suprahyoid region. One branch descends to join the cervical cutaneous nerve from the cervical plexus.

  6. Facial motor nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_motor_nucleus

    Branches of the facial nerve leaving the facial motor nucleus (FMN) for the muscles do so via both left and right posterior (dorsal) and anterior (ventral) routes. In other words, this means lower motor neurons of the facial nerve can leave either from the left anterior, left posterior, right anterior or right posterior facial motor nucleus.

  7. Marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_mandibular_branch...

    Thus the facial artery can be used as an important landmark in locating the marginal mandibular nerve during surgical procedures. [2] Damage can cause paralysis of the three muscles it supplies, which can cause an asymmetrical smile due to lack of contraction of the depressor labii inferioris muscle . [ 3 ]

  8. Buccal branches of the facial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_branches_of_the...

    The buccal branches of the facial nerve (infraorbital branches), are of larger size than the rest of the branches, pass horizontally forward to be distributed below the orbit and around the mouth. Branches

  9. Trigeminal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_nerve

    In neuroanatomy, the trigeminal nerve (lit. triplet nerve), also known as the fifth cranial nerve, cranial nerve V, or simply CN V, is a cranial nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing; it is the most complex of the cranial nerves.
