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
The main trunk of thefacial nervecontinues anteriorly and inferiorly into theparotid gland(although it does not contribute to the innervation of the parotid gland) where it lies in a fibrous plane that separates the deep and superficial lobes of the parotid gland. In the parotid gland, the ne...
The facial nerve is responsible for the motor innervation of the face. It has a visceral motor function (lacrimal, submandibular, sublingual glands and secretion of the nose); it conveys a great part of the taste fibers, participates to the general sensory of the auricle (skin of the concha...
By controlling the facial muscles, the facial nerve allows us to change our facial expression, showing different emotions and assisting with talking and chewing to some degree. Its innervation of the stapedius muscle, a small muscle that stabilizes the stapes in the ear, allows it to control our...
