Facial nerve, nerve that originates in the area of the brain called the pons and that has three types of nerve fibres: (1) motor fibres to the superficial muscles of the face, neck, and scalp and to certain deep muscles, known collectively as the muscles
nerve; either a single blood vessel enters the nerve or two branches are created prior to entry. This is in contrast to the multiple penetrating branches reported with the sciatic nerve. This is believed to be due to the relatively short course of the facial nerve, and so only one or two...
which also receives afferent somatosensory fibers from the anterior two-thirds of thetonguevia thechorda tympani. In addition to the chorda tympani, there are two other facial nerve branches during the intratemporal course: the nerve tostapediusand the greater petrosal nerve (parasympatheticinnervation...
Furthermore from an evolutionary point of view the facial expressions are a major way of communication between human beings. Classic anatomy describes the path of the branches of the facial nerve in the midface, anterior to the parotid fascia, as running in the subcutaneous tissue, a recent ...
6) buccal branches of facial nerve 面神经颊支 1. Applied anatomy of the extraparotid buccal branches of facial nerve; 腮腺外面神经颊支的应用解剖研究 2. The parotid duct was between the buccal branches of facial nerve (62%), The vertical distance from parotid duct to upper buccal ...
In view of the known functional differences, the neurochemical character of the thoracic and sacral intermediolateral nuclei were compared. Neurons and the afferent fiber components were labeled using antibodies raised against neurofilament, neural nuclear protein, cholinacetyltransferase, nitric oxide ...
The disorder can affect any of the three nerve branches, meaning you could feel pain anywhere from your forehead to your jaw. Usually, you’ll feel pain on only one side of your face. Some people feel it on both sides. When that happens, it’s called bilateral trigeminal neuralgia. ...
Reconstruction of Multiple Facial Nerve Branches Using Skeletal Muscle-Derived Multipotent Stem Cell Sheet-Pellet Transplantation.doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0138371Head and neck cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages, and surgical resection with wide margins is generally indicated, despite this treatment...
There is a belief that the larger the number of the distal nerve branches grafted, the greater the muscle tone and consequently the facial function [5]. Malik et al. reported that 56% of 25 patients who underwent interpositional nerve grafting achieved House–Brackmann grade ≤ III [27]. ...
Evaluation of FN includes inspection of the face at rest, during speech, voluntary, emotional and involuntary movements with characterization of the overall movement of the face, the extent of the facial weakness and the involvement of all nerve branches. Inspection at rest Evaluate the upper eyelid...
