A

inferior alveolar and supplies:

-soft tissue of the chin

25
Q

After the inferior alveolar artery branches from maxillary artery in the infra temporal fossa, what is it’s path?

A

enters mandible via the mandibular foramen and traverses the mandible via the mandibular canal until it emerges through the mental foramen as the mental artery

26
Q

What are the muscular branches of the maxillary artery?

A

Deep temporal arteries
masseteric arteries
pterygoid arteries

27
Q

After the infraorbital artery branches from maxillary artery in the infra temporal fossa, what is it’s path?

A

it passes through the inferior orbital fissure, courses along the floor of the orbit, through the orbital groove and infraorbital canal to emerge through the infraorbital foramen

28
Q

The infraorbital artery forms an anastomoses with what artery in the anterior face?

A

angular branch of facial artery

29
Q

After the sphenopalatine artery branches from maxillary artery in the infra temporal fossa, what is it’s path?

A

it passes through the pterygomaxillary fissure to enter the pterygopalatine fossa and then forms nasal and palatine branches

30
Q

Where do the veins of the infra temporal fossa drain?

A

into the pterygoid plexus of veins which drains to maxillary vein and then retromandibular vein

31
Q

Mandibular nerve enters the infratemporal fossa via what opening and medial to what landmark?

A

through foramen ovale

medial (deep) to the lateral pterygoid muscle

32
Q

Mandibular nerve is the only branch of trigeminal nerve that has both motor and sensory function. What muscles does it innervate?

A
  • muscle of mastication (masseter, temporalis, medial and lateral pterygoid
  • mylohyoid
  • anterior belly of digastric
  • tensor tympani
  • tensor veli palatini
33
Q

Mandibular nerve is the only branch of trigeminal nerve that has both motor and sensory function. The sensory component creates the V3 dermatome which includes what?

A
  • teeth and gums of lower jaw
  • general sensory to anterior 2/3 of the tongue
  • oral mucosa on lateral wall and floor of oral cavity
  • skin over mandible, lower lip, cheek, temporal region and some skin of external ear
  • TMJ
  • part of tympanic membrane
  • some of cranial dura

35
Q

What is buccal nerve a branch of and what does it innervate?

A

Mandibular (V3) nerve and it innervates:

Mandibular (V3) nerve and it innervates:

  • auricle of the ear
  • skin of the temporal region
  • some of the tympanic membrane
  • TMJ
37
Q

What is lingual nerve a branch of and what does it innervate?

A

Mandibular (V3) nerve and it innervates:

  • anterior 2/3 of the tongue
  • floor of the oral cavity
38
Q

What is inferior alveolar nerve a branch of and what does it innervate?

A

Mandibular (V3) nerve and it innervates:

  • teeth of lower jaw
  • skin of chin and lower lip via mental nerve
  • mylohyoid and anterior belly of digastric via nerve to mylohyoid
39
Q

After branching from mandibular nerve, what is the path of meningeal nerve?

A

It follow middle meningeal artery through the foramen spinosum and into the middle cranial fossa

40
Q

What are the muscular branches of mandibular nerve

A
  • masseteric nerve
  • medial pterygoid nerve
  • lateral pterygoid nerve
  • deep temporal nerves
41
Q

A

passes in between the two heads of the lateral pterygoid muscle

42
Q

After branching from mandibular nerve, what is the path of auriculotemporal nerve?

A

deep to the neck of the mandible, then becomes superficial between TMJ and external auditory meatus as it travels to the temporal region

43
Q

What is the function of corda tympani?

A

it carries fibers from facial nerve that hitchhike on lingual nerve to provide:
