50
Q

the facial n inn the parasympathetic fibers of

A

pond , medulla and upper sc

52
Q

if a patient has a R upper motor neuron lesion in the brain (cortical stroke) what pattern of facial weakness would u see compared to a lower motor neuron lesion

A

upper motor neuron lesion would effect only half of the left side of the face because the supper face is bilateral

if there was a lower motor neuron lesion then the whole left side wold be weak because it is effecting the whole lower face and upper fave
