Motor fibers are distributed (together with sensory fibers) in branches of the mandibular nerve.

For example, the teeth on one side of the jaw can be numbed by injecting the mandibular nerve.

It is innervated by the mandibular nerve.

The mandibular nerve then divides into two trunks, an anterior and a posterior.

The mandibular nerve gives off the following branches:

It is a branch of the mandibular nerve (V3).

Many early modern skulls, for example, display a tell-tale bone near the place where the mandibular nerve enters the jaw.

The mandibular nerve has both sensory and motor functions.

The mandibular nerve carries touch/position and pain/temperature sensation from the mouth.

Motor branches of the trigeminal nerve are distributed in the mandibular nerve.
