Facial nerve anatomy, artwork
Facial nerve anatomy. Artwork of an oblique frontal view of the anatomical position of the facial nerve and its branches in relation to the deep facial (mimetic) muscles (red) of the human head. Also called cranial nerve VII, this nerve controls the muscles used for facial expressions, and branches to the tongue also play a role in the sense of taste

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate anatomy of the facial nerve and its branches, set against a clean white background. The oblique frontal view provides a detailed glimpse into the anatomical position of this crucial cranial nerve, which controls the expressive muscles of the face. Also known as cranial nerve VII, it not only governs our ability to convey emotions through facial expressions but also plays a role in our sense of taste. The vibrant red color highlights the deep facial (mimetic) muscles that work in harmony with the facial nerve, allowing us to smile, frown, raise an eyebrow or even pout. Each branch is meticulously illustrated, including the temporal branch, zygomatic branch, buccal branch, marginal mandibular branch, and cervical branch. This print serves as a valuable resource for medical professionals and students alike who seek to understand the complex interplay between nerves and muscles within our bodies. It offers an insight into how these structures function together seamlessly to create various expressions that define human communication. With its emphasis on accuracy and attention to detail, this illustration from Science Photo Library exemplifies their commitment to providing high-quality images for scientific education and research purposes.
