Nerves of the Face. 



The nerves of the face are thirteen in number on either side. 

 Twelve of these are sensory nerves, and one is motor, namely, the 

 facial nerve. 



The facial or seventh cranial nerve {portio dura) will only be 

 described here after its emergence from the aqueduct of Fallopius 

 in the petrous part of the temporal bone. It emerges from that

aqueduct through the stylo-mastoid foramen, after which it passes 

 downwards and then forwards into the parotid gland. Near the 

 posterior border of the ramus of the inferior maxilla it breaks up 

 into two terminal parts, called the temporo-facial and cervico- 

 facial divisions. 



Branches. — These are as follows : the posterior auricular, digastric, 

 stylo-hyoid, and the two terminal divisions, namely, temporo-facial, 

 and cervico-facial-
