sensory nerve supply Flashcards
The main trunks of the sensory nerves lie in the?
connective tissue layer
(the “C” layer) of the scalp
The nerves are arranged in two main groups:
branches of the trigeminal nerve located anterior to the ear
branches of cervical spinal nerves located posterior to the ear
what branch is the supratrochlear nerve?
ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve
what branch is the supraorbital nerve?
ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve
what branch is the zygomaticotemporal nerve?
maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve
what branch is the auriculotemporal nerve?
mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve
what branch is the lesser occipital nerve (C2)?
branch of the cervical plexus
what branch is the greater occipital nerve?
branch of the posterior ramus of the second cervical nerve
