Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The facial nerve is responsible for controlling the muscles of the face, including the muscles responsible for closing the eyes and blinking. Damage to the facial nerve can weaken or even paralyze these muscles, resulting in a weak or absent blink reflex. Damage to the other nerves listed (vagus nerve, cranial nerve II, cranial nerve VIII) would not directly affect the blink reflex.
