Mandibular Division Flashcards
Where does the mandibular division exit the cranial vault
Through the foramen ovale
What does the mandibular division leave the cranial vault as
A large sensory root and a small motor root
Where do the large sensory root and small motor root combine to form the mandibular division
The infratemporal fossa
The Mandibular division carries what kind of fibers
Both motor and sensory
Where does the mandibular division carry sensation from
Skin over mandible, posterior cheek, posterior temple, and from the mucosa of the lower oral cavity and cheeks
How many m. does the mandibular division innervate
- 4 of which are the m. of mastication
What 2 branches of the mandibular division are given off in the infratemporal fossa
Recurrent meningeal branch and Medial pterygoid n.
What are the m. of mastication
Masseter, Temporalis, Med. and Lat. pterygoid m.
The recurrent meningeal branch (nervus spinosum) reenters the cranium via what
The Foramen spinosum
The recurrent meningeal branch (nervus spinosum) carries sensory info from where
The dura of the middle cranial fossa, ant. cranial fossa, and calvarium
The Medial pterygoid n. is the motor supply for what
The medial pterygoid m.
What do the medial pterygoid n. fibers that pass through the otic ganglion supply
Tensor veli palatine and tensor tympani
Is the anterior division of the mandibular n. predominantly motor or sensory
Motor
Is the posterior division of the mandibular n. predominantly motor or sensory
Sensory
What 4 n. does the anterior division of the mandibular n. give rise to
