The '''digastric branch of facial nerve''' arises close to the [[stylomastoid foramen]], and divides into several filaments, which supply the posterior belly of the [[Digastricus]]; one of these filaments joins the [[glossopharyngeal nerve]].

Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

The digastric branch of facial nerve provides motor innervation to the posterior belly of the digastric muscle.[1][2] It branches from the facial nerve (CN VII) near to the stylomastoid foramen[1] as the CN VII exits the facial canal (it thus branches proximal to the parotid plexus of facial nerve).[2] It commonly arises in common with the stylohyoid branch of facial nerve.[3]
