One of the more complicated nerves in the human head, along with the facial nerve. The trigimenal nerve serves all the structures that develop from the first arch of the human embryo, including the jaw and muscles in the ear.

Chapter 5 Quotes
If you want to understand the wiring and plumbing in my building, you have to understand its history, how it was renovated for each new generation of scientists. My head has a long history also, and that history explains complicated nerves like the trigeminal and the facial.

Explanation and Analysis:
Shubin explains the path of cranial nerves using the analogy of wiring and plumbing in an old building. Like electrical wires or plumbing distribute electricity and water throughout a building, the cranial nerves deliver electrical impulses from the brain to muscles and bones in the head to tell them what to do. These nerves, especially the trigimenal and the facial, have circuitous paths through the various structures of the human head that seem to make no sense. Shubin expects that the human body would naturally want to form the easiest pathways for the nerves through the head to save on Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non.

What I've just given you is one of the big tricks for understanding the most complicated cranial nerves and large portions of the head. When you think trigeminal nerve, think first arch. Facial nerve, second arch.

Explanation and Analysis:
In this chapter focusing on the mechanisms of the human head, Shubin unpacks two nerves that are often very difficult for anatomy students to master. The trigimenal nerve and the facial nerve are two nerves in the head that connect to multiple seemingly random muscles in the face and ears. Furthermore, the two nerves overlap and cross each other, making them redundant for a job that could more easily be done by just one nerve. Shubin looks back at the embryonic version of the human head, a more simplified construct before all the aspects of the human head have developed. Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut.
