    The trigeminal nerve has three major divisions that carry sensory information from the face to the brain and motor commands from the brain to muscles of mastication. It contains nerve fibers that detect different modalities like pain, temperature and touch. The trigeminal ganglion lies in a depression on the skull and its three major branches innervate different regions of the face.
