What is the chief sensory nerve of the face?

  1. 1st cranial nerve

  2. 3rd cranial nerve

  3. 5th cranial nerve

  4. 7th cranial nerve

The correct answer is: 1st cranial nerve

The correct answer is the 5th cranial nerve. The 5th cranial nerve, also known as the trigeminal nerve, is the chief sensory nerve of the face. It is responsible for providing sensation to the face, including touch, temperature, and pain. The other options listed are incorrect because they do not serve as the chief sensory nerve of the face.
