Maxillary Division Flashcards
What does V2 Maxillary Nerve supply?
Supplies maxillary facial & lingual gingiva, Max teeth, palatal mucosa, nasopharynx, hard/soft palate
What is the branch given off @ middle cranial fossa of V2 Maxillary
Middle Meningeal Nerve
What does the Branch Middle Meningeal Nerve supply?
Supply sensory to dura (tough fibrous membrane) to cover brain/spinal cord
Then what does V2, Maxillary course through?
Courses through foramen rotundum-to- Pterygopalatine Fossa (Pterygopalatine Ganglion-bulge/bump)
What are the 4 branches of V2, given off at the Pterygopalatine Fossa?
Zygomatic, Pterygopalatine, Posterior Superior Alveolar, Infraorbital
What are the 2 sub-branches off Zygomatic
Zygomaticofacial & Zygomaticotemporal
The Zygomatic courses through…
Leaves Pterygopalatine fossa-through- infraorbital fissure-into- the orbit
What does sub-branch Zygomaticofacial Supply?
Supplies sensory to skin over the zygomatic bone
What does sub-branch Zygomaticotemporal Supply?
Supplies sensory to anterior portion of temporal fossa
Where does the Pterygopalatine Nerves stay?
Unite/stay @ Pterygopalatine Ganglion
What are the 4 sub-branches off Pterygopalatine Nerves
Orbital, Nasal, Palatine, and Pharyngeal
What does the Orbital branch course/supply?
Course Pterygopalatine Fossa-through-infraorbital fissure-into- Orbit. Supply Periosteum of Orbit/Sphenoid Sinus
What does the Nasal branch course/travel through?
Pterygopalatine Fossa-to- Sphenopalatine Foramen-to- Nasal Cavity (nasal septum)-to- incisive canal, where the two nerves UNITE to form 1 nerve-through- incisive foramen
What is the 1 sub/sub-division of the Nasal Branch
The Nasopalatine Nerve
Where is the location of the sphenopalatine foramen?
it’s on the medial wall of the Pterygopalatine Fossa
