The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) plays a crucial role in controlling the muscles of facial expression, including those around the eye. It innervates the orbicularis oculi muscle, which is responsible for closing the eyelids, facilitating blinking and protecting the eye. Additionally, the facial nerve contributes to tear production by stimulating the lacrimal glands through its parasympathetic fibers. Dysfunction of the facial nerve can lead to problems such as dry eyes or inability to close the eyelids properly.
The Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VII is the nerve involved with Bell's Palsy.
Facial Nerve (VII)
Facial nerve (Cr. N. VII)
The muscles of facial expression are innervated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). This nerve originates in the brainstem and branches out to supply the muscles involved in facial expressions, such as the orbicularis oculi, zygomaticus, and frontalis muscles. Damage to the facial nerve can result in facial muscle weakness or paralysis on the affected side of the face.

I believe it is the facial nerve CN vii
The greater petrosal nerve is a branch of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). It carries parasympathetic fibers that innervate the lacrimal gland and nasal mucosa.
The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) affects your sense of taste for the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and is responsible for controlling facial expressions through its motor functions.
The chorda tympani nerve, a branch of the facial nerve, serves the anterior two-thirds of the tongue for taste sensation.
the Chorda Tympani nerve ( a branch of the facial nerve VII) which joins the lingual nerve medial to the lateral pterygoid muscle.
CN VII (facial) The cranial nerves that regulate salivation are CN VII (facial) and CN IX (Glossopharyngeal). The cranial nerves that transmit the special sense of taste are CN VII (facial, to the anterior 2/3rd of the tongue) and CN X (vagus, to the posterior 1/3rd of the tongue). Of these nerves, only CN VII (facial) transmits both taste and salivation control.
