Which nerve extends to the side of the forehead, temple, and upper part of the cheek?

  1. Facial nerve

  2. Zygomatic nerve

  3. Auriculo temporal nerve

  4. Temporal

The correct answer is: Auriculo temporal nerve

The facial nerve extends to the front part of the ear and controls facial expressions, while the temporal nerve extends to the side of the forehead, temple, and upper part of the cheek. The zygomatic nerve also extends to the cheek, but it specifically controls sensation in the cheek and upper lip. The temporal nerve connects to the auriculo temporal nerve, but it only extends to the temple and does not cover the entire cheek area.
