Cranial Nerve V: The Trigeminal Nerve Stemming from the lateral superior margin of the left and right side of the pons, this nerve branches into three: V/I ophthalmic, V/II maxillary and V/III mandibular nerves. These branches exit the skull through the superior orbital fissure (V/I), the foramen rotundum (V/II) and the foramen ovale (V/III). This nerve governs the sensory innervation of the face, sinuses and teeth.
Which cranial nerve has fibers which leave the pons, travel through the temporal bone via the internal acoustic meatus, and exit via the stylomastoid foramen to reach the face? IX. glossopharyngeal Which nerve has somatic motor fibers which serve the pharygeal muscles and parasympathetic motor fibers which serve the salivary glands?
