Final answer:
The trigeminal nerve has three sub-divisions: ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular, and they transmit somatosensory information from various regions of the face. The correct answer is Option 1, with the abducens and facial nerves having different functions altogether.
Step-by-step explanation:
The three sub-divisions of the trigeminal nerve are ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular. These branches are responsible for conducting somatosensory information from the face, head, mouth, and nasal cavity. The ophthalmic branch transmits sensory information from the upper part of the face, including the eyes and forehead, the maxillary branch from the middle part of the face, including the cheeks and upper lip, and the mandibular branch from the lower part of the face, including the jaw and lower lip. Therefore, the correct option for the subdivisions of the trigeminal nerve is Option 1. Furthermore, the abducens nerve is purely a motor nerve responsible for eye movements, whereas the facial nerve carries both sensory (for taste) and motor functions (for facial expressions).
