the term dermatome refers to the segmental innervation of the skin
The superficial nerves of the face and scalp are derived from three sources located in the head and neck:
Facial nerve, which provides motor innervation to the muscles of the face. Trigeminal nerve, which provides sensory innervation to the face via its ophthalmic division, maxillary division and mandibular division.
