Branchial arch muscles are supplied by cranial nerves containing special viscera efferent nucleus. So 5th), 7, 9, 10, 11and 12 have special visceral component, where as cranial nerves responsible for eye and tongue movements i.e., 3rd, 4th, 6th and 12th (hypoglossal nucleus) have general somatic efferent component.In the same way peripheral nerves supplying skeletal muscles (eg musculocutaneous nerve supplying biceps brachi muscle) also possess GSE component.7th, 9th, 10th cranial nerves end in nucleus trachus solitaries
