  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.

    Symptoms of damage: inability to shrug, weak head movement. XII Hypoglossal: Mainly motor Medulla: Located in the hypoglossal canal. Provides motor innervation to the muscles of the tongue (except for the palatoglossal muscle, which is innervated by the vagus nerve) and other glossal muscles.

    Cranial nerves VII and VIII and selected structures of the inner and middle ear. 1 Nervus vestibularis, 2 Nervus cochlearis, 3 Nervus intermediofacialis, 4 Ganglion geniculi, 5 Chorda tympani, 6 Cochlea, 7 Ductus semicirculares, 8 Malleus, 9 Membrana tympani, 10 Tuba auditiva

  5. Posterior auricular nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_auricular_nerve

    The posterior auricular nerve is a nerve of the head. It is a branch of the facial nerve (CN VII). It communicates with branches from the vagus nerve, the great auricular nerve, and the lesser occipital nerve. Its auricular branch supplies the posterior auricular muscle, the intrinsic muscles of the auricle, and gives sensation to the auricle.

  6. Chorda tympani - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorda_tympani

    The chorda tympani nerve carries its information to the nucleus of solitary tract, and shares this area with the greater petrosal, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. [8] When the greater petrosal and glossopharyngeal nerves are cut, regardless of age, the chorda tympani nerve takes over the space in the terminal field.

  7. Intermediate nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_nerve

    The intermediate nerve, nervus intermedius, nerve of Wrisberg or glossopalatine nerve [1] [2] [3] is the part of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) located between the motor component of the facial nerve and the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). It contains the sensory and parasympathetic fibers of the facial nerve.

  8. Vestibular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

    The vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) is a reflex eye movement that stabilizes images on the retina during head movement by producing an eye movement in the direction opposite to head movement, thus preserving the image on the center of the visual field. For example, when the head moves to the right, the eyes move to the left, and vice versa.

  9. Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2 - Wikipedia

    pain in the ear, jaw and/or neck; taste loss in the front two-thirds of the tongue; dry mouth and eyes; an erythematous vesicular rash in the ear canal, the tongue, and/or hard palate. [citation needed] [2] Because the vestibulocochlear nerve is in proximity to the geniculate ganglion, it may also be affected and patients may also experience ...
