Where does the facial nerve exit the temporal bone?
nan
The facial nerve exits the temporal bone through the stylomastoid foramen. This small opening is located at the base of the skull, just behind the ear. Once the facial nerve passes through this foramen, it travels through the parotid gland, where it divides into numerous branches that innervate the muscles of facial expression.
