If a patient has lost most sensory perception on one side of the face and difficulty chewing, which cranial nerve may be damaged?
Adi S.
"Ulysses notices that he's having a hard time chewing food, which cranial nerve do you think is affected? Abducens Olfactory Facial Trigeminal Hypoglossal Ulysses was studying the nervous system in preparation for his upcoming term 2 exam, while reading his lesson he suddenly felt hungry; he is aware that this type of stimuli is controlled by which part of the brain? Amygdala Brainstem Hypothalamus Cerebellum"

Trigeminal V sends taste sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and also controls facial expressions, lacrimal and salivary glands. Accessory XI controls swallowing and monitoring blood pressure in the carotid artery. Abducens VI is a mixed nerve providing taste sensation from the posterior one-third of the tongue, controlling swallowing and muscles of the neck. Olfactory I transmits light and images from the eyes to the visual cortex. Oculomotor III predominantly controls eyelid movements such as blinking. Vestibulocochlear VIII is a sensory nerve functioning in hearing and equilibrium. Trochlear IV is a sensory nerve situated immediately superior to the nasal cavity. Hypoglossal XII is a complex nerve controlling digestive, respiratory, and cardiovascular functions. It is also the only nerve that descends below the neck. Glossopharyngeal IX controls the tongue movement during swallowing and speech. Facial VII controls the lateral movement of the eye. Optic II is a sensory nerve functioning in hearing and equilibrium. Vagus X is the largest cranial nerve, innervating the forehead, maxilla, and the mandible.
