QUESTION

Trigeminal nerve is?

OPTIONS

(A) Mixed
(B) Sensory
(C) Motor
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(A) Mixed

EXPLANATION

The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is a mixed nerve because it contains a large sensory component for sensation from the face and a motor component supplying the muscles of mastication. Therefore, it is neither purely sensory nor purely motor, making the other choices incorrect.
