Divisons of Trigeminal Nerve Flashcards
Branches of the trigeminal nerve
ophthalmic, maxillary, mandibular
The maxillary division carries what kind of information?
sensory ONLY
The maxillary division carries sensory information from what areas?
skin between the eyes and mouth, over the cheeks and temples, mucosa lining the maxillary sinuses, nasal conchae, palate, and gingiva
Four branches of the maxillary division
