Q

What is the function of the buccal N. from the mandibular branch of the trigeminal?

What is the funciton of the buccal branch of the facial nerve?

A

Buccal nerve from V3 provides sensation to the interior cheek and part of the gums.

The buccal branch of the facial nerve provides motor innervation to the buccinator muscle.

9
Q
