Study Notes
Nerve Functions and Pathways
- The auriculotemporal nerve supplies the skin of the auricle, the external auditory meatus, and conveys postganglionic parasympathetic secretomotor fibers from the otic ganglion to the parotid salivary gland.
Mandibular Nerve
- The mandibular nerve emerges from the foramen ovale to enter the infratemporal fossa.
- It supplies motor fibers to the muscles of mastication.
Lingual Nerve
- The lingual nerve descends in front of and medial to the inferior alveolar nerve, enters the mouth, and runs forward on the side of the tongue.
- It supplies the mucous membrane of the anterior two thirds of the tongue and the floor of the mouth.
Trigeminal Nerve (CN V)
- The mandibular division (V3) carries motor fibers.
- The mandibular division (V3) supplies motor fibers to the muscles of mastication.
