The facialis is more complicated than the trigeminal, and may contain four components. In the lower vertebrates it is a mixed nerve, but in the higher it is purely. Fig. 64.

In its greatest development (ichthyopsida) it gives rise to four branches, — a. ophthalmicus superficialis ; - b, hyomandibularis ; c, buccalis ; and d, palatinus. The first of these has its own ganglion and is purely sensorv, supplying the lateral line organs (see sense organs, infra) on the top of the head. It is found only in aquatic ichthyopsida, the frog, for instance, losing it at 1 Microscnpic study shows that they are usually as distinct here as in the higher forms. * Fibres from the fifth accompany the ophthalmicus Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloratio
