nerves Flashcards
branches of trigeminal nerve
ophthalmic
maxillary
mandibular
what makes of the trigeminal ganglion
foramen ovale and foramen rotundum
maxillary nerve branches
pterygopalatine n.
posterior superior alveolar n.
infrorbital n.
zygomatic n.
maxillary n > pterygopalatine n. > what are the branches
greater/descending anterior palatine n.
nasopalatine n.
middle/posterior/lesser palatine n.
passes through superior orbital fissure
ophthalmic n.
innervates skin of nose and forehead
ophthalmic n.
passes through foramen rotundum
maxillary n.
branches off of maxillary nerve within pterygopalatine space
pterygopalatine n.
passes along nasal septum in nasal passageway to pass through incisive canal
nasopalatine n.
innervate front of palate
nasopalatine n
innervates posterior portion of hard palate
greater palatine n.
splits off within pterygopalatine fossa/space; passes through alveolar canal openings into maxillary sinus
PSA
innervates pulp of maxillary molars except mesiobuccal root of first maxillary molar
PSA
maxillary n. > infraorbital n branches
MSA
ASA
terminal branches
branch splits off maxillary nerve while in the infraorbital groove
infraorbital n.
