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. [1] [2] The nerve typically travels from the ...
Pons. Three Parts: V 1 ( ophthalmic nerve) is located in the superior orbital fissure V 2 ( maxillary nerve) is located in the foramen rotundum. V 3 ( mandibular nerve) is located in the foramen ovale . Receives sensation from the face, mouth and nasal cavity, and innervates the muscles of mastication . VI.
Central facial palsy (colloquially referred to as central seven) is a symptom or finding characterized by paralysis or paresis of the lower half of one side of the face. It usually results from damage to upper motor neurons of the facial nerve . The facial motor nucleus has dorsal and ventral divisions that contain lower motor neurons supplying ...
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.
Bell's palsy is the result of a malfunction of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), which controls the muscles of the face. Facial palsy is typified by inability to move the muscles of facial expression. The paralysis is of the infranuclear/lower motor neuron type.
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 ...
Plan of the facial and intermediate nerves and their communication with other nerves. ("Nucleus of Facial N." labeled at upper left.) The facial motor nucleus is a collection of neurons in the brainstem that belong to the facial nerve ( cranial nerve VII). [1] These lower motor neurons innervate the muscles of facial expression and the stapedius.
The nerves of the scalp, face, and side of neck. The marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve arises from the facial nerve (CN VII) in the parotid gland at the parotid plexus. It passes anterior-ward deep to the platysma and depressor anguli oris muscles. It provides motor innervation to muscles of the lower lip and chin: [citation needed ...
