| Question | Answer |
| How many cranial nerves rise from the base of the brain and the brain stem? What do they do? | There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves arising at the base of the brain and the brain stem. The cranial nerves activate the muscles and sensory structure of the head and neck (inc. skin, membranes, eyes, and ears). |
| Which nerves are esthetician's primarily concerned with? | Estheticians are primarily concerned with nerves V, VII, and XI, and each one has several branches. |
| Which cranial nerve is the largest? What does it do? | The largest of the cranial nerves is the fifth cranial nerve (aka "trifacial" or "trigeminal" nerve). It is the chief sensory nerve of the face; it serves as the motor nerve of the muscles that control chewing. |
| What is the fifth cranial nerve and what does it do? | The fifth cranial nerve (aka "trifacial" or "trigeminal" nerve) is the largest of the cranial nerves. It is the chief sensory nerve of the face; it serves as the motor nerve of the muscles that control chewing. |
| What are the (3) branches of the fifth cranial nerve? | The (3) branches of the fifth cranial nerve (also "trifacial nerve" or "trigeminal nerve") consist of the: ophthalmic nerve mandibular nerve maxillary nerve |
| What are the (3) branches of the trifacial nerve? | The (3) branches of the trifacial nerve (also "fifth cranial nerve" or "trigeminal nerve") consist of the: ophthalmic nerve mandibular nerve maxillary nerve |
| What are the (3) branches of the trigeminal nerve? | The (3) branches of the trigeminal nerve (also "fifth cranial nerve" or "trifacial nerve") consist of the: ophthalmic nerve mandibular nerve maxillary nerve |
| What is the ophthalmic nerve do? | The ophthalmic nerve affects the skin of the forehead, upper eyelids, and interior portion of the scalp, orbit, eyeball, and nasal passage. |
| What is the mandibular nerve do? | The mandibular nerve affects the muscles of the chin and lower lips. |
| What does the maxillary nerve do? | The maxillary nerve affects the upper part of the face. |
| What is the seventh cranial nerve and what does it do? | The seventh cranial nerve (aka "facial nerve") is the chief motor nerve of the face. It emerges near the lower part of the ear and extends to the muscles of the neck. Its divisions and their branches supply and control all the muscles of facial expression and the secretions of the saliva. |
| What is the nerve sometimes referred to as "facial nerve" and what does it do? | The seventh cranial nerve (aka "facial nerve") is the chief motor nerve of the face. It emerges near the lower part of the ear and extends to the muscles of the neck. Its divisions and their branches supply and control all the muscles of facial expression and the secretions of the saliva. |
| What are the (2) most important branches of the seventh cranial nerve? | The (2) branches of the seventh cranial nerve (aka "facial nerve") consist of the: buccal nerve cervical nerve |
| What are the (6) most important branches of the facial nerve? | The (6) branches of the "facial nerve" (aka seventh cranial nerve) consist of the: buccal nerve cervical nerve mandibular nerve posterior auricular nerve temporal nerve zygomatic nerve (upper and lower) |
| What is the buccal nerve and what does it do? | buccal nerve: - an important part of the seventh cranial nerve (also "facial nerve") - affects the muscles of the mouth |
| What are the cervical nerves and what does they do? | cervical nerves: - important parts of the seventh cranial nerve (also "facial nerve) - affect the side of the neck and the platysma muscle |
| What is the mandibular nerve and what does it do? | mandibular nerve: affects the muscles of the chin and lower lip |
| What is the posterior auricular nerve and what does it do? | posterior auricular nerve: affects the muscles behind the ear at the base of the skull |
| What is the temporal nerve and what does it do? | temporal nerve: affects the muscles of the temple, side of the forehead, eyebrow, eyelid, and upper part of the cheek |
| What are the zygomatic (upper and lower) nerves and what do they do? | zygomatic (upper and lower) nerves: affect the muscle of the upper part of the cheek |
