25
Q

Supraorbital nerve*

A

Branch from frontal, from ophthalmic from trigeminal

Accessible through Supraorbital foramen for nerve block

26
Q

Maxillary branch of trigeminal

A

V2 - sensory
Originates in trigeminal ganglion
Runs on cavernous sinus (w ophthalmic & III)
Passes through round foramen

27
Q

Innervation of maxillary nerve

A

Sensory to nose, rostral face, upper dental arcade, hard & soft palate, lateral orbit, lateral canthus

28
Q

Pathway of maxillary nerve

A

Runs through alar canal (species specific)
Enters maxillary foramen at cranial aspect of Ptyergopalatine fossa via infraorbital canal
Emerges superficially at infraorbital foramen

29
Q

Branches of maxillary nerves

A

Zygomatic nerve - passes through orbit caudal to rostral & exits orbit near orbital ligament = 2 more nerves

30
Q

Branches from zygomatic n

A

Zygomaticotemporal nerve - most dorsal, supplies lower lateral eyelid & skin of forehead
Zygomaticofacial - more ventral, skin over zygomatic arch & lower eyelid

31
Q
