The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) passes through the parotid gland, but it does not innervate it. Instead, it branches within the gland to supply the muscles of facial expression. Additionally, it travels through the stylohyoid and digastric muscles before reaching the face.

What cranial nerve passes through the middle ear cavity?
I believe it is the facial nerve CN vii
How is the nerve supply to platysma muscle?
Facial nerve
Nerve that passes through the internal acoustic meatus?
The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) passes through the internal acoustic meatus. It carries motor fibers to the muscles of facial expression and also carries taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
What passes through the foramen rotundum?
The maxillary nerve (V2) passes through the foramen rotundum, which is a circular opening in the sphenoid bone located in the middle cranial fossa. The maxillary nerve is a branch of the trigeminal nerve (V).
What passes through the internal acoustic meatus?

What muscle will not paralyze when the facial nerve is severed?
Buccinator and masseter
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).
What cranial nerve is responsible for muscles of facial expression?
Facial nerve, the seventh cranial nerve. It leaves the brain along with eighths cranial nerve through internal acoustic meatus and comes out through stylomastoid foramen to supply the muscles of facial expression.
Which is the muscle responsible for bell's sign?
It is caused by a paralyse of facial nerve.
What does Facial nerve VII do to the eye?
The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) plays a crucial role in controlling the muscles of facial expression, including those around the eye. It innervates the orbicularis oculi muscle, which is responsible for closing the eyelids, facilitating blinking and protecting the eye. Additionally, the facial nerve contributes to tear production by stimulating the lacrimal glands through its parasympathetic fibers. Dysfunction of the facial nerve can lead to problems such as dry eyes or inability to close the eyelids properly.
