Facial nerve_______________?
Correct answer: A. Mixed nerve
- A. Mixed nerve
- B. Sensory nerve
- C. Motor nerve
- D. Parasympathertic nerve
Explanation
The facial nerve is mixed because it carries branchial motor fibres, taste fibres from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, and parasympathetic fibres to glands. Its motor component is therefore only one part of its function, not the whole classification.
