What is the 12 pairs of peripheral nerves that branch out from the brain?
You are speaking of the 12 cranial nerves:I. Olfactory nerve which branches out of the telencephalonII. Optic which branches out of the diencephalonIII. Oculomotor nerve which branches out of the mesencephalonIV. Trochlear nerve nerve which branches out of the mesencephalonV. Trigeminal nerve which branches out of the ponsVI. Abducens nerve which branches out of the ponsVII. Facial nerve which branches out of the ponsVIII. Vestibulochochlear nerve which branches out of the ponsIX. Glossopharangeal nerve nerve which branches out of the medullaX. Vagus nerve nerve which branches out of the medullaXI. Accessory nerve nerve which branches out of the medulla & cervical spineXII. Hypoglossal nerve nerve which branches out of the medulla
Does the nerve cells have many connecting side branches?
Yes, nerves have lots of connecting side branches! Hope I helped!
Does the optic nerve pass through the foramen ovale?
The natural blind spot (scotoma) is due to lack of receptors (rods or cones) where the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eye. It is where the optic nerve leaves the retina not enter it. The optic disk or blind spot is where the optic nerve leaves the eye; you cannot use that field of vision because the optic nerve is there.
What is the nerve that approaches the knee and it divides into two branches the fibular and the tibular nerve?
Sciatic
What is the cell body of the nerve cell?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
Which structure pasees through temporal fossa?
-deep cutaneous nerves of mandibular nerve of the trigeminal trunk -temporalis muscle inserts into it -superficial temporal artery associated with it is the auriculotemporal nerve -zygomaticotemporal branches of the zygomatic nerve of the maxillary nerve of the trigeminal trunk -anjawi5
What are all the branches of the facial nerve?
The Trigeminal Nerve is located in a structure in the brain stem called the pons.

What is the largest cranial nerve that receives sensory neurons from the face and sends motor neurons to the chewing muscles making it a mixed nerve?
Trigeminal. Sensory function- touch/temp/pain. Motor function-chewing. Branches-mandibular, maxillary and opthalmic.

Which cranial nerve has been damaged when your mouth droops following carotid surgery?
Marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.
Which nerve and branch provides sensory innervation of the lower gums teeth lips and palate?
mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve
What are the two branches of the sciatic nerve?
the two branches of the sciatic nerve
What passes through the foramen rotundum?
The main motor portion of the facial nerve
What is the nerve supply of the muscles of facial expression?
The facial muscles are innervated by facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). In contrast, the nearby masticatory muscles are innervated by the mandibular nerve, a branch of thetrigeminal nerve (V).
Why do dentists need to know the location of the mandibular foramen?
The mandibular branch (V3) of the trigeminal nerve (CN V) runs down through the mandibular foramen to all the lower teeth. They need to be able to find that spot to properly numb the teeth of the mandible.
What cranial nerve allows you to smile?
Smiling is an action produce by more than one muscle but the nerve that allows you to do that is the facial nerve (7th cranial nerve). Facial nerve has 5 branches and the action of all 5 allows you to smile nicely. The temporal branch allow you to wrinkle your forehead, the zygomatic branch allows you to partially close your eyes, the buccal branch allow you to elevate your chin, and the marginal mandibular allow you to widen your mouth laterally.
