1. trigeminal

   The term "trigeminal" commonly refers to the trigeminal nerve, which is the fifth cranial nerve in humans and other vertebrates. It is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the face and the head, and for controlling the motor functions of the muscles involved in chewing. Its name, "trigeminal", comes from the Latin word "trigeminus" which means "threefold," as the nerve has three major branches - the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves. However, in a broader sense, "trigeminal" can be used as an adjective to describe anything that is divided or consisting of three parts.
