This study was carried out to investigate the branch and distribution of Nervus facialis of the Korean native goat. The observation was made by dissection of embalmed cadavers of ten Korean native goats. N. facialis arose from the ventrolateral surface of the medulla oblongata. In the facial canal, N. facialis gave off N. petrosus major, N. stapedius and Chorda tympani. N. petrosus major arose from Ganglion geniculi, passed through the pterygoid canal and terminated in Ganglion pterygopalatium. Chorda tympani joined N. lingualis at the lateral surface of the internal pterygoid muscle.
