What is the chief motor nerve of the face?

5th cranial nerve
6th cranial nerve
7th cranial nerve
8th cranial nerve

The correct answer is: 5th cranial nerve

The correct answer is the 5th cranial nerve. The 5th cranial nerve, also known as the trigeminal nerve, is the chief motor nerve of the face. It is responsible for controlling the muscles of mastication, which are the muscles involved in chewing. This nerve also plays a crucial role in facial sensation. The other options (6th, 7th, and 8th cranial nerves) are not the chief motor nerve of the face. The 6th cranial nerve is responsible for controlling the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, the 7th cranial nerve is responsible for controlling the muscles of facial expression, and the 8th cranial nerve is responsible for hearing and balance.
