 2) Posterior belly of the digastic
 3) Stylohyoid
60
Q

Q1. What is the first nerve affected by cavity sinus thrombosis?

A

ANSWER: Abducens nerve - CN VI

Background:
Before the advent of antibiotics, cavity sinus thrombosis is the deadly infection that can occur from dental infection because a lot of facial veins have no valves, so infection backs up and goes into the sinus area. The first consequence affects the nerve with the longest course, abducens, which does Lr6 (lateral movement). So, the first thing you cannot do is move the eye out, lateral ophthalmoplegia. The other nerves will also be affected as the cavity of the sinus swells and impinges on them, inhibiting their respective functions.

61
Q

Q2. Where do the preganglionic parasympathetic fibers for tear secretion come from?

A

Vidian nerve - CN VII

62
Q

Q3. What are the terminal branches of V2?

63
Q

Greater petrosal and deep petrosal nerve

64
Q

Q5. What nerve needs to be anesthetized in order to get anesthesia in the buccal mucosa in the posterior mandibular molar area?

A

Buccal nerve

Key: V3 innervates the posterior buccal mucosa. You are going to have to anesthetize this nerve when doing extractions.

65
Q

Q6. Where do preganglionic fibers associated with parotid gland come from?

A

Otic ganglion or CN IX

66
Q

Q7. Which nerve is 5-10% in the 3M area?
