MANDIBULAR NERVE
NERVE TO THE MEDIAL PTERYGOID |
2. Nerve to the medial pterygoid: penetrates the deep surface ofthe me-
dial pterygoid, innervating it; gives rise to the nerve to the tensor tympani and the nerve to the tensor veli palatini |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
MASSETERIC NERVE |
3. Masseteric nerve: emerges superior to the lateral pterygoid and passes
through the mandibular notch to supply the masseter |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
DEEP TEMPORAL NERVES |
4. Deep temporal nerves: the anterior deep temporal and posterior deep
temporal nerves emerge between the two heads ofthe lateral pterygoid and superior to the lateral pterygoid, respectively; they ascend in the temporal fossa and innervate the temporalis |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
NERVE TO LATERAL PTERYGOID |
5. Nerve to the lateral pterygoid: penetrates the deep surface ofthe lateral
pterygoid, innervating it |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
BUCCAL NERVE |
6. Buccal nerve: emerges between the two heads of the lateral pterygoid;
some branches supply the skin ofthe cheek and others penetrate the buccinator to provide sensory innervation to the mucosa ofthe cheek |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
7. Auriculotemporal nerve COURSES... |
7. Auriculotemporal nerve
a. Courses posteriorly, deep to the lateral pterygoid; emerges poste- rior to the neck ofthe mandible and gives off postganglionic para- sympathetic secretomotor fibers from the otic ganglion to the facial nerve |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
7. Auriculotemporal nerve ASCENDS B/W... |
b. Ascends between tlie auricle and superficial temporal artery and pro-
vides sensory innervation to the auricle, external acoustic meatus, and posterior part of the temple |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
LINGUAL NERVE DESCENDS DEEP TO... |
8. Lingual nerve
a. Descends deep to the lateral pterygoid and appears along its infe- rior border; after coursing anteriorly on the lateral surface of the medial pterygoid, the lingual nerve provides general sensory inner- vation to the anterior two-thirds ofthe tongue |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
LINGUAL NERVE PROXIMALLY IT IS JOINED BY... |
b. Proximally, it isjoined on its posterior aspect by the chorda tympani
nerve, a branch ofthe facial nerve which contains taste fibers for the anterior two-thirds ofthe tongue and preganglionic parasympathetic fibers for synapse in the submandibular ganglion |
|
|
MANDIBULAR NERVE
INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE |
9. Inferior alveolar nerve
a. Descends deep to the lateral pterygoid and appears along its infe- rior border, posterior to the lingual nerve; it then courses toward the mandibular foramen on the lateral surface ofthe medial pterygoid, inferior to the lingual nerve |
