^ WOW, don't listen to that guy! ^
Mastication is controlled by the trigeminal (one M) which is CN V (cranial nerve five)

What innervates velar muscles?
Cranial Nerve V
What nerve is used for mastication in dobermans?
The cranial nerve responsible for moving the cheek muscles is cranial nerve V (the trigeminal nerve). However, cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) and cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) are also involved in moving the tongue, the throat for swallowing and the muscles along the floor of the jaw.
Which cranial nerve innervates the ear?
cranial nerve3
Which cranial nerve used in anatomy of ear?
The vestibulocochlear nerve innervates the ear.
What is the twelfth cranial nerve?
The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve. It is considered as one of the most important of all the twelve cranial nerves. These twelve cranial nerves, the vagus nerve included, emerge from or enter the skull (the cranium), as opposed to the spinal nerves which emerge from the vertebral column. The vagus nerve originates in the medulla oblongata, a part of the brain stem.
What cranial nerve is used for chewing food?
the trigeminal nerve (V) controls the movement of eight muscles, including the four muscles of mastication.The muscle that are involved in chewing food are the, temporalis, the masseter and the pterygoids.
The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that carries?
Vagus nerve (CN 10) innervates your thoracoabdominal viscera by the parasympathetic nervous system.
Cranial nerve involved in vision and visual fields?
The optic nerve (purely sensory; carry afferent impulses for vision) Oculomotor (innervates four of the extrinsic eye muscles) Trochlear (innervates an extrinsic eye muscle that hooks through a pulley-shaped ligament in the orbit) Abducens (innervates the muscle that turns abducts the eyeball)
What nerve innervates all the muscles of the tongue except palatglossus?
hypoglossal nerve
Which nerve innervates all your hamstring muscles?
great sciatic nerve
What cranial nerve is used in listening to music?
The vestibulocochlear nerve or cranial nerve 8 (CN8) is largely involved with listening to music. However the trigeminal nerve (CN5), which innervates the tensor tympani, and the facial nerve (CN7), which innervates the stapedius muscle, may alter the perception of sound and theoretically affect the perception of music.
What nerve governs most of the extrinsic eye muscle?
Trochlear Nerve innervates Superior Oblique(extrinsic eye muscle)Oculomotor Nerve innervates Inferior Oblique, Superior Rectus, Inferior Rectus, and Medial Rectus (which are all extrinsic eye muscles) along with Ciliary Body, and the Iris (which are both intrinsic eye muscles)Abducens Nerve innervates Lateral Rectus(extrinsic eye muscle)
