zygomaticotemporal nerve
two or three ganglionic branches
infraorbital nerve
superior dental plexus
27
Q

what does the middle meningeal branch supply?

A

given off before the division exits the round foramen and supplies the meninges of the middle cranial fossa

28
Q

where does the zygomatic nerve exit the skull?

A

the inferior orbital fissure

29
Q

how does the communicating branch to the lacrimal nerve function?

A

carries postganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the pterygopalatine ganglion to the lacrimal gland by way of the lacrimal nerve

30
Q

what does the zygomaticotemporal nerve supply?

A

the skin over the temple

31
Q

what does the zygomaticofacial nerve supply?

A

the skin over the cheek

32
Q

what do the ganglionic branches do?

A

they carry sensory info from the from the upper pharynx, nasal cavity, and palate through the pterygopalatine ganglion to the maxillary division

33
Q

what does the infraorbital nerve supply?

A

gives off the posterior, middle, and anterior superior alveolar nerves that carry sensory info from the teeth. also supplies the lower eyelid and the maxillary sinus

34
Q

where is the superior dental plexus found?

A

just above the alveoli

35
Q

where does the mandibular division exit the skull?

A

foramen ovale

36
Q

which component of the mandibular division is larger the sensory or motor?

A

sensory. the roots combine in the infratemporal fossa to form the mandibular division

37
Q

what is the sensory distribution of the mandibular division?

A

sensation from the skin over the mandible, posterior cheek, and posterior temple. also sensation from mucosa of the lower oral cavity and cheeks

38
Q

what are the muscles of mastication?

A

masseter, temporalis, and medial and lateral pterygoid

39
Q

what are the two branches given off in the infratemporal fossa?

A

recurrent meningeal branch (nervous spinosum)

medial pterygoid nerve

40
Q

what is the fxn of the recurrent meningeal nerve?

A

re enters the cranium through the foramen spinosum and carries sensory info from the dura of the middle cranial fossa, anterior cranial fossa and calvarium

41
Q

what is supplied by the medial ptergoid nerve?

A

motor supply to the medial ptergoid, but also sends fibers that pass through the otic ganglion to supply the tensor veli palatini, and tensor tympani

42
Q

what is the distribution of the anterior and posterior divisions of the mandibular branch?

A

anterior division is predominantly motor

posterior division is predominantly sensory

43
Q

what are the branches of the anterior division of the mandibular branch?

A

masseter nerve
deep temporal nerve
lateral pterygoid nerve
buccal nerve

44
Q

what is supplied by the masseter nerve?

A

supplies motor innervation to the masseter nerve and sensory info from the temporomandibular joint

45
Q

what is supplied by the deep temporal nerve?

A

gives rise to an anterior and posterior branch, both supply the temporalis muscle

46
Q

what is supplied by the lateral pterygoid nerve?

A

latral pterygoid muscle

47
Q

what is supplied by the buccal nerve?

what are the branches of the posterior division of the mandibular branch?

A

auriculotemporal nerve
lingual nenerverve
inferior alveolar (two branches)

49
Q

what are the branches of the inferior alveolar nerve?

A

incisive branch
mental nerve
motor fibers

50
Q

what does the auriculotemporal nerve supply?

A

passes through the parotid gland and carries sensory info from the skin of the temple and the ear. also carris some postganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the otic ganglion

51
Q

what does the lingual nerve supply?

A

sensory info from the mucosa of the oral cavity. it combines with the chorda tympani nerve of CN 7

52
Q

what does the inferior alveolar nerve supply?

A

sensory info from lower teeth and chin

53
Q

incisive branch of inferior alveolar

A

supplies incisors canines and 1st premolars

54
Q

what does the mental nerve supply?

A

labial gingivae adjacent to the incisors and skin of the lower lip and chin

55
Q

what is the fxn of the motor fibers from the inferior alveolar nerve?

A

diverge from the inferior alveolar nerve before it passes through the mandibular foramen to supply the mylohyoid muscle and the anterior belly of the digastric

56
Q

what two autonomic ganglia communicate with the mandibular division of CN 5?

A

submandibular gnglion

otic ganglion

57
Q

how does the submandibular ganglion communicate with CN 5?

A

recieves through the lingual nerve some fibers from CN 7 (chorda tympani nerve)

58
Q

how does the otic ganglion communicate with CN 5?

A

otic ganglion sends postganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the parotid gland through the auriculotemporal nerve

59
Q

What is inflammation of the trigeminal nerve called?

A

trigeminal neuralgia (tic doloreaux) person will feel severe burning, episodoc pain in affected area “worst pain ever”

60
Q

dental considerations

A

lower teeth are all supplied by the inferior alveolar nerve so to work on them the entire nerve needs to be anesthatized
upper teeth are supplied individually so anestesia can be administered more specifically
