maxillary nerve

Maxillary nerve - conveys sensation to the upper jaw and the face.

These are all branches of maxillary nerve.

The anterior communicates with the meningeal branch of the maxillary nerve.

It is innervated by the maxillary nerve.

It is derived from the maxillary nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve.

The ophthalmic and maxillary nerves are purely sensory.

Most of their fibers are derived from the sphenopalatine branches of the maxillary nerve.

Maxillary nerve (pink)

The superior alveolar (anterior, middle, and posterior) nerves, branches of the maxillary nerve provide sensory innervation.

Posterior nasal branches of Maxillary nerve (V)

Alveolar branches of the maxillary nerve go from the pterygopalatine fossa to the infratemporal region via this fissure.

The foramen rotundum is a circular aperture at its anterior and medial part; it transmits the maxillary nerve.

The lacrimal nerve is occasionally absent, and its place is then taken by the zygomaticotemporal branch of the maxillary nerve.

The maxillary nerve branch of the trigeminal nerve (V) supplies sensory innervation to the palate.

Behind the medial end of the superior orbital fissure is the foramen rotundum, for the passage of the maxillary nerve.

The maxillary nerve passes through and exits the skull via the pterygopalatine fossa and the foramen rotundum.

The medial superior posterior nasal branches of maxillary nerve usually branches from the nasopalatine nerve.

After the maxillary nerve enters the infraorbital canal, the nerve is frequently called the infraorbital nerve.

It is triangular or heart-shaped, of a reddish-gray color, and is situated just below the maxillary nerve as it crosses the fossa.

Here the fibers synapse and postganglionic fibers join the fibers of the maxillary nerve, which travels through the inferior orbital fissure.

The maxillary nerve, division V of the trigeminal nerve travels through the lower portion of the sinus and exits via the foramen rotundum.

It joins with the zygomatic branches of the facial nerve and with the inferior palpebral branches of the maxillary nerve.

Although it is closely related to the pterygopalatine ganglion, it is still considered a branch of the maxillary nerve and does not synapse in the ganglion.

The palatovaginal canal contains the pharyngeal branch of the maxillary nerve and the Pharyngeal branches of maxillary artery.

The mandibular nerve (man-dib'yoo-ler; "chew" L) supplies the skin of the lower jaw and the regions of the cheeks behind those supplied by the maxillary nerve.
