Cranial nerve V. is the trigeminal nerve. It got its name after its three branches. Two of the branches are pure sensory, the third is mixed motor and sensory.
In short, it gathers sensory information from the scalp, eyelids, eyes (from the cornea and conjuntiva, NOT visual information), nose, cheeks, lips, teeth, gums, oral cavity and jaw. The motor fibers innervate muscles involved in chewing and swallowing.

∙ 13y agoCranial nerves are nerves that emerge directly from the brain, in contrast to spinal nerves which emerge from segments of the spinal cord. In humans, there are traditionally 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Only the first and the second pair emerge from the cerebrum; the remaining 10 pairs emerge from the brainstem.
