Q

Branches of Maxillary Nerve (V2)

A
  1. Meningeal branch before traversing foramen rotundum
    Branches in PPF
  2. Zygomatic n (zygomaticotemporal n, zygomaticofacial n)
  3. Communicating branches (2) with pterygopalatine ganglion
    – orbital, medial and lateral posterior superior nasal, has-palatine, greater palatine [greater palatine gives off lateral posterior inferior nasal n], lesser palatine, pharyngeal)
    -Nerve of pterygoid canal carries fibers from CN7–> PPG
  4. Posterior superior alveolar n
  5. Infraorbital n (continuation of maxillary n)
    -Middle superior alveolar n
    -Anterior superior alveolar n
    -Terminal branches (palpebral, nasal, superior labial)

Q

Zygomatic nerve

A

In PPF, enters orbit via INFERIOR ORBITAL FISSURE –> zygomaticofacial and zygomaticoptermporal nerves, LEAVE orbit and emerge on face via same named foramina.

Q

Communicating roots to PPG (pterygopalatine nerves)

A
PPG suspended from V2 via 2 communicating branches (primary GSA fibers)
GSA fibers pass through PPG, without interruption and into following branches:
1. orbital branches
2. medial posterior superior nasal n
3. lateral posterior superior nasal n
4. nasopalatine n
5. greater palatine n
6. lesser palatine n
7. pharyngeal n  
  • Posterior superior alveolar n
  • Infraorbital n
17
Q

Orbital branches

A

traverse inferior orbital fissure to reach orbit

18
Q

Medial posterior superior nasal, lateral posterior superior nasal and nasopalatine nerves

A

Traverse sphenopalatine formane to enter nasal cavity

19
Q

Pharyngeal n

A

Travels in palatovaginal canal to reach nasopharynx

20
Q

Greater palatine and lesser palatine nerves

A

descend in greater palatine canal to reach palate

21
Q

Nerve of pterygoid canal (includes GVE and SA fibers from CN-7)

A

course pterygoid canal to reach PPG

22
Q

Posterior superior alveolar n

A

Leaves PPF through pterygomaxillary fissure and enters maxilla via alveolar foramen

23
Q

Infraorbital nerve

A

Name change occurs as V2 traverses inferior orbital fissure. Courses in infraorbital groove and canal before emerging on face via infraorbital foramen

24
Q

lnfraorbital n gives rise to

A

Middle superior alveolar n
Anterior superior alveolar n

Infraorbital n terminates as palpebral, nasal and labial branches

25
Q

Superior Dental Plexus

A

Formed by nerves that carry sensory info from maxillary teeth and adjacent gingival tissue

26
Q

Structures of superior dental plexus

A
  • Posterior superior alveolar n (branch off maxillary n)
  • Middle superior alveolar n (branch off infraorbital n)
  • inconsistent, when absent, territory supplied by anterior superior alveolar n (or posterior superior alveolar n)
  • Anterior superior alveolar n (branch off infraorbital n)
27
Q

Innervation of Tooth via Dental

A

Dental pulp innervated by A-delta and C-fibers from CN-V (GSA) + postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers from superior cervical ganglion (GVE).

  • A delta and C fibers enter root canal along with Bfs and ramify as a plexus. Nerve fibers may continue into odontoblast layer and enter dentinal tubules
  • GVA fibers in pulp that provide CNS with info regarding vascular tone
28
