A
- Temporalis, masseter, lateral and medial pterygoids
18
Q
Innervation of muscles of mastication
A
- CN V3
19
Q
What innervates muscles of facial expression?
A
- CN VII
20
Q
Foramen that CN V3 exits?
A
- Foramen ovale
21
Q
Is CN V3 motor or sensory?
A
- Both
22
Q
What do the motor branches of CN V3 innervate?
A
- Masticatory muscles - Mylohyoid - Ant belly digastric - Tensor tympani - Tensor veli palatini
23
Q
Sensory branches of CN V3?
A
- Mnemonic: Buccaneers Are Inferior Linguists - Buccal nerve - Auriculotemporal - Inferior alveolar nerve (mylohyoid, mental, incisive) - Lingual nerve
24
Q
What do the sensory branches of CN V3 carry?
A
- Buccal = skin of cheek, mucous membrane of cheek and lateral surface of oral gingival - Auriculotemporal (auricle, skin over temporal, TMJ, secretory PSNS parotid fibers belonging to CN IX, ext acoustic meatus and TM) - Inf alveolar (teeth on its side) - A.) mylohyoid n = ant belly digastric, mylohyoid m - B.) mental n = skin of chin - C.) incisive n = canine and incisive teeth - Lingual = sensory to tongue, floor of mouth and gingival
25
Course of chorda tympani. Origin, Function?
- Branch of CN VII - CN VII enters through internal acoustic meatus, travels into facial canal gives off chorda tympani which travels through the petrotympanic fissure and joins with lingual nerve (CN V3). Has preganglionic PSNS fibers to submandibular ganglion. CN VII leaves via stylomastoid foramen. - Function: taste from ant 2/3rds tongue (except taste to vallate papillae)
26
Describe PSNS pathways into and out of otic ganglion – what do these fibers innervate?
- In: preganglionic PSNS fibers from CN IX via tympanic nerve into tympanic plexus into lesser petrosal nerve
- Out: postganglionic PSNS fibers with auriculotemporal nerve (V3) to parotid gland
27
What type of joint is TMJ? Describe in detail
- Modified hinge joint w/ - Synovial joint between mandibular fossa / articular eminence of temporal bone & condyle of mandible - Articular surfaces covered by fibrous tissue - Articular disc = fibrous tissue - Upper = between articular eminence, mandibular fossa and articular disc = gliding joint - Lower = bw articular disc and condyle of mandible = hinge joint
28
Ligaments of TMJ
- Stylomandibular - Sphenomandibular - Lateral ligament
29
What nerve encircles and artery on the head?
- Auriculotemporal (V3 division) encircles middle meningeal artery
30

35
Nerve supply to TMJ?
- Masseteric - Auriculotemporal
