The Facial Nerve The facial nerve is complicated. Not only does it control most muscles of the face; this nerve also transmits taste signals from the front of the tongue, conveys parasympathetic fibers that make the eyes tear and mouth salivate, and is responsible for a little bit of sensation around the ear.
If you recall, CN VII is responsible for taste sensation in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Well, it's the glossopharyngeal nerve, also known as cranial nerve IX, that is the nerve responsible for the sensation of taste in the posterior one-third of the tongue. In addition, cranial nerve IX is a nerve that innervates one of the three major salivary glands, called the parotid gland.
