What else can I help you with?
Taste fibers to anterior two thirds of the tongue are carried by?
the Chorda Tympani nerve ( a branch of the facial nerve VII) which joins the lingual nerve medial to the lateral pterygoid muscle.
What nerve that controls tear glands?
The lacrimal nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve (which is a branch of the trigeminal nerve), controls the tear glands. It provides sensory innervation to the lacrimal gland, which is responsible for producing tears in the eye.
What neural injury will the corneal reflex not test for?
The corneal reflex will not test for injuries to the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) as it primarily assesses the integrity of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve.
What is corneal reflex somatic?
The corneal reflex is a protective reflex involving the sensory branch of the trigeminal nerve (V) and the motor branch of the facial nerve (VII). When the cornea is touched, nerve impulses trigger a blinking reflex to protect the eye from potential damage.
Which taste sensations could be lost after damage to the facial nerve?
Loss of taste sensations that could result from damage to the facial nerve include the inability to taste sweetness on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue due to dysfunction of the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve, which carries taste information. This can lead to a reduced ability to detect sweet flavors on that part of the tongue.
What nerve is not a branch of the trigeminal nerve?
The facial nerve is not a branch of the trigeminal nerve. It is a separate cranial nerve responsible for facial movement and sensation.
The greater petrosal nerve is a branch of what cranial nerve?
The greater petrosal nerve is a branch of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). It carries parasympathetic fibers that innervate the lacrimal gland and nasal mucosa.
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 nerve branch extends to the upper muscles of the cheek?
The nerve branch that extends to the upper muscles of the cheek is the buccal branch of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). This branch innervates the buccinator muscle and provides sensory innervation to the skin and mucous membranes of the cheek. It plays a key role in facial expressions and movements associated with chewing.
Which one of the following nerves serves the anterior tongue's?
The chorda tympani nerve, a branch of the facial nerve, serves the anterior two-thirds of the tongue for taste sensation.
Taste fibers to anterior two thirds of the tongue are carried by?
the Chorda Tympani nerve ( a branch of the facial nerve VII) which joins the lingual nerve medial to the lateral pterygoid muscle.
Which cranial nerve has been damaged when your mouth droops following carotid surgery?
Marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.
What part of the nervous system is affected by the bell's palsy?
The Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VII is the nerve involved with Bell's Palsy.
What facial problem starts with letter T?
A facial problem that starts with the ltter t is, Tregiminal Trophic syndrome. Tregiminal Trophic syndrome occurs, when there's damage in the tregiminal nerve.
What nerve that controls tear glands?
The lacrimal nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve (which is a branch of the trigeminal nerve), controls the tear glands. It provides sensory innervation to the lacrimal gland, which is responsible for producing tears in the eye.
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.
Which cranial nerve is responsible for your tears?
V is responsible for tear reflex in response to cornea irritation, VII has a parasympathetic branch responsible for emotional tears.
