Cranial nerve V or Trigeminal nerve has three branches. The mandibular branch innervates the muscles for chewing. Cranial nerve IX glossopharyngeal innervates the muscles of swallowing. Cranial nerve X innervates the gastrointestinal tract through parasympathetic tracts of the nerve. Cranial nerve XI innervates the muscles of the neck for movement.
