function of the trigeminal nerve
conducts sensory impulses from the skin of the face, mucosa of nose and mouth, motor fibers that activate chewing
promotes motor fibers to the throat which promotes swallowing and the production of saliva, sensory impulses from posterior tongue and pressure receptor of carotid artery
activates muscle of facial expression and the lacrimal and salivary glands, carries sensory impulses from taste buds of anterior tongue
fibers carry sensory impulses from and motor impulses to the pharynx, larynx, and the abdominal and thoracic viscera
