Which nerve is the chief motor nerve of the face?

  1. Facial nerve

  2. Trigeminal nerve

  3. Accessory nerve

  4. Vagus nerve

The correct answer is: Facial nerve

The facial nerve is the main motor nerve of the face, responsible for controlling facial expressions and the movement of facial muscles. The other options are incorrect because - The trigeminal nerve is responsible for sensation from the face, not motor control. - The accessory nerve controls neck and shoulder muscles, not facial muscles. - The vagus nerve controls the muscles of the throat and neck, not specifically the face.
