Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trigeminal nerve is also known as cranial nerve V. The phrenic nerve is the nerve that controls the movement of the diaphragmatic muscles. It also receives sensory input from the pericardium. The vagus nerve (also known as cranial nerve X) influences heart rate, bronchial relaxation and constriction, and digestive activities. Although the trigeminal nerve innervates some facial muscles and sensations, the facial nerve is cranial nerve VII, a mixed sensory and motor nerve that controls the muscles of facial expression and receives sensory input from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
