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.
The superficial temporal vein drains the venous blood of the forehead and orbit and connects to the cavernous sinus.
The maxillary vein receives drainage from the infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae.

Arteries and Branches for Facial Nutrition

The facial artery is a branch of the external carotid artery and has a tortuous path with several branches for the face.
The angular artery is connected to the dorsal nasal branch, establishing a connection between the external and internal carotid arteries.
The infraorbital artery is one of the terminal branches of the maxillary artery.
The facial artery has branches including upper labial branches, a branch for the nasal septum, and lower labial & muscular branches for the face.
