The seventh cranial nerve or facial nerve controls voluntary facial movements (motor function) so you can check it through wrinkling the eyebrows or frowning, smiling or showing your teeth, puffing your cheeks, and moving your lips. Check for any abnormalities or asymmetry. Facial nerve has also sensory function as it receives taste sensation to anterior 2/3 of the tongue. This can be tested by swab with different taste and the patient will determine what it is.

What cranial nerve controls the response of the illuminated eye?
If the light is shining directly into one eye, then the pupil in that eye will constrict (a direct response), but so will the pupil in the non-illuminated eye (a consensual response). This reflex involves two cranial nerves: the optic nerve, which senses the light, and the oculomotor nerve, which constricts both pupils.
