Study Notes
Trigeminal Nerve Branches
- The trigeminal nerve is a major cranial nerve (V)
- This nerve has three branches: ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular
- The ophthalmic branch carries sensory information from the forehead, scalp, upper eyelid, and eye.
- The maxillary branch transmits sensory information from the upper teeth, gums, upper lip, nasal cavity, and palate.
- The mandibular branch receives sensory input from the lower teeth, gums, lower lip, chin, and part of the tongue and also controls muscles of mastication (chewing).
