No!
Where do the mandible’s nerves and BVs travel?

Synovial joint
What structures does the TMJ lie between?
Condylar process
Mandibular fossa

Submucosa
Submucosa contents
Some submucosal glands
Where is Meissner’s nerve plexus and what does it do?
Between mucosa and submucosa
Sends branches inward to control muscularis mucosa (autonomic) and branches outward to control submucosal glands (secretion)

Inner circular smooth muscle layer
Outer longitudinal smooth muscle layer
Where is the myenteric nerve plexus of Auerbach located?
