Mandibular Division of Trigeminal Nerve Flashcards
Mandibular division leaves the cranial vault through which foramen?
Foramen ovale
The root combination of the mandibular division is made into which order?
large sensory root and a small motor root
Which fossa does large sensory root and a small motor root form the mandibular division?
Infratemporal fossa
The mandibular division carries sensation to what areas of the face?
skin over the mandible, posterior cheek and posterior temple; also carries sensation from mucosa of the lower oral cavity and cheek
Mandibular division carries motor fibers to which muscles?
masseter temporalis Medial/Lateral pterygoid Tensor veli palatini Tensor tympani Mylohyoid Anterior belly of digastric
What are the two branches are given off in the infratemporal fossa?
Recurrent meningeal branch & medial pterygoid nerve
Which portion of the mandibular nerve carries sensory
information from the dura of the middle cranial fossa,
anterior cranial fossa and calvarium?
Recurrent meningeal nerve
What function does the recurrent meningeal branch of the mandibular nerve have?
carries sensory information from the dura of the middle cranial fossa, anterior cranial fossa and calvarium
Which mandibular branch gives rise to some fibers that pass
through the otic ganglion?
medial pterygoid nerve
The medial pterygoid nerve supplies innervation to blood vessels of which muscles?
tensor veli palatine and the tensor tympani
The mandibular nerve divides into two branches with what kind of classification?
predominantly motor anterior division and a predominantly sensory posterior division
The anterior division gives rise to which nerves?
masseter nerve
deep temporal nerve
lateral pterygoid nerve
buccal nerve
Which nerve motor innervation to the masseter and carries sensory information from the temporomandibular joint?
Masseter Nerve
The deep temporal nerve gives rise to an anterior and
posterior branch which both innervate what muscle?
Temporalis muscle
The buccal nerve is buccal nerve is describe to belong to which division (ANT/POST); Function (Motor/Sensory)?
major sensory branch of the anterior division
