The facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve) is the nerve which inervates all of the facial muscles as well as the taste buds of the tongue. The facial nerve emerges from the posterior border of the pons and reaches the facial muscles through various branches. The facial nerve is important for making facial expressions and to the sense of taste. Research Facial Nerve
