superior, while the nasociliary nerve crosses the optic nerve to
reach the medial wall of the orbit. Beneath these is the optic
nerve, surrounded in front by the ciliary nerves, and having the
ciliary ganglion on its lateral side, between it and the Rectus
lateralis. Below the optic nerve are the inferior division of
the oculomotor, and the abducent, the latter lying on the medial
surface of the Rectus lateralis. 5g. The Facial Nerve (N.
Facialis; Seventh Nerve) The facial nerve (Figs. 788,790)
consists of a motor and a sensory part, the latter being
frequently described under the name of the nervus intermedius
(pars intermedii of Wrisberg)(Fig. 788). The two parts emerge at
the lower border of the pons in the recess between the olive and
the inferior peduncle, the motor part being the more medial,
immediately to the lateral side of the sensory part is the
acoustic nerve. FIG. 788 Plan of the facial and intermediate
nerves and their communication with ot
