Study Notes
Facial Nerve Components and Functions
- The facial nerve consists of taste sensory fibers, somatic sensory fibers, and parasympathetic pre-ganglionic fibers.
- The nerve of the 2nd bronchial arch is responsible for facial expression muscles.
Facial Nerve Locations
- The geniculate ganglion is located in the geniculate fossa of the petrous part of the temporal bone.
Veins and Drainage Areas
- The anterior facial vein is a part of the facial vein before connecting to the anterior branch of the retromandibular.
- The commune facial vein is a part of the facial vein after connecting to the anterior branch of the retromandibular.
