The trifacial, more commonly referred to as the trigeminal nerve, is the fifth cranial nerve and is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing. It has three major branches: the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves, each innervating different regions of the face. The trigeminal nerve plays a crucial role in facial sensation and is involved in reflex actions like the blink reflex. Disorders of this nerve can lead to conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia, characterized by severe facial pain.
