The Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VII is the nerve involved with Bell's Palsy.
Facial Nerve (VII)
Facial nerve (Cr. N. VII)
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).
The Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VII is the nerve involved with Bell's Palsy.
VII the cranial nerve or the Facial
I believe it is the facial nerve CN vii
The facial nerve (VII)
Orbicularis oculi muscle
CN VII (facial) The cranial nerves that regulate salivation are CN VII (facial) and CN IX (Glossopharyngeal). The cranial nerves that transmit the special sense of taste are CN VII (facial, to the anterior 2/3rd of the tongue) and CN X (vagus, to the posterior 1/3rd of the tongue). Of these nerves, only CN VII (facial) transmits both taste and salivation control.
A) vagus nerve (X) B) facial nerve (VII) C) glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) D) trigeminal nerve (V) E) facial nerve (VII), vagus nerve (X), and glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) Answer is E
The following facial muscles are innervated by cranial nerve VII (facial nerve):- orbicularis oris (closes lips)- caninus (snarling in a dog)- levator nasolabialis (lifts nose and upper lip)- levator labii superioris (lifts upper lip)- depressor labii inferioris (depresses lower lip)- caudal belly of the digastricus (opens jaw)
