PIX CARD 63

THE FACIAL NERVE

MODULE 8

Use this card to organize information about the facial nerve. On the right side of the section draw in the motor nuclei associated with the facial nerve. On the left side, do the same thing for the sensory components of the facial. Identify structures that lie adjacent to these nuclei and nerve fibers, because they might also be damaged by a lesion in this region - and knowledge of these relationships may be useful in localizing the lesion. Then try provide the information listed below the section. Fill in your answers in the table on the back of the card.
