which cranial nerve supplies the muscles of facial expression?
-cranial nerve VII—>the facial nerve
what are the muscles of facial expression responsible for?
- moving the skin to provide facial expression
- act as sphincters around the eyes and mouth
what are the muscles of mastication responsible for?
moving the mandible at the Temporomandibular joint
which cranial nerve supplies the muscles of mastication?
cranial nerve V – the trigeminal nerve
where are the muscles of mastication derived from?
pharyngeal arch I
what are the different branches of the trigeminal nerve and what types of nerves are they?
- Ophthalmic (V1)- sensory
- Maxillary (V2)- sensory
- Mandibular (V3)- sensory & motor to muscles of mastication
name the branches of the facial nerve?
Temporal Zygomatic Buccal Marginal mandibular Cervical

3/4
how many coccygeal spinal nerves?
1
what forms the coccyx?
3/4 coccygeal vertebrae are fused
what are the roles of intervertebral discs?
- act as shock absorbers by keeping vertebrae separated when there is impact
- provide flexibility to spine-facilitating flexion and extension
what is the the annulus fibrosis made up of?
- made of fibrocartilage
- tough and collagenous
what is the role of the annulus fibrosis?
prevents over-rotation of the vertebrae
what is the nucleus pulposus made up of?
jelly-like- mainly composed of water & loose network of collagen
what is the role of the nucleus pulposus?
allows discs to withstand forces of compression and torsion
which cervical vertebrae is atlas?

what is different about atlas compared with other cervical vertebrae?
C1 is only cervical vertebra that has no spinous process
which cervical vertebrae is axis?
C2
does C2 have a spinous process?
yes-bifid spinous process
