describe the difference in innervation from facial nerve between upper and lower muscles of face?
muscles of upper part of face - frontalis: bilateral innervation - gets innervation from both contralateral and ipsilateral motor cortex ! (upper motor neurons from L & R of brain synapse the lower motor neuron, which innervates the frontalis)
muscles of lower part of face: just contralteral innervation one upper motor neuron from L or R, travel down and decussate and synapses with lower motor neuron

what would you expect to see clinically in a lesion of upper motor neuron in facial nerve? [1]
what would you expect to see clinically in a lesion of lower motor neuron in facial nerve? [1]
what would you expect to see clinically in a lesion of upper motor neuron in facial muscles? [1]
paralysis of lower facial musculature
what would you expect to see clinically in a lesion of lower motor neuron in facial nerve? [1]
paralysis of ipsilateral upper and lower faicial muscles

what happens when have Bells palsy?
- which part of facial nerve is affected: lower motor neuron
- what does this present as: ipsilateral total paralysis
what happens when have stroke palsy?
- which part of facial nerve is affected: upper motor neuron
- what does this present as: contralateral lower muscles paralsis
