What is the seventh nerve and primary motor nerve of the face?

  1. Facial nerve

  2. Temporal

  3. Cervical

  4. Zygomatic nerve

The correct answer is: Facial nerve

The seventh nerve and primary motor nerve of the face is the facial nerve. This nerve controls the facial muscles that are involved in expressing emotion, chewing, and speaking. Temporal and cervical nerves are not specifically associated with the face, while the zygomatic nerve is responsible for sensation in the cheek area but not for motor function. Therefore, A is the most correct answer.
