C. Greater Palatine N.
D. Mandibular Nerve (V₃)

A

D. Mandibular Nerve (V₃)

Q

Which of the following nerves does NOT arise from the infraorbital nerve?
A. Anterior Superior Alveolar N.
B. Middle Superior Alveolar N.
C. Posterior Superior Alveolar N.
D. Palpebral branches

A

C. Posterior Superior Alveolar N.
The PSA nerve branches directly off V₂ before it becomes the infraorbital nerve. The palpebral branches (to the lower eyelid) do come from the infraorbital nerve after it exits the infraorbital foramen. 2

Q

Which of the following is NOT a function of any branch of the maxillary nerve (V₂)?
A. Sensation to the soft palate
B. Sensation to the lower teeth
C. Sensation to the nasal cavity
D. Sensation to the maxillary sinus

A

B. Sensation to the lower teeth

The mandibular nerve (V₃) provides sensation to the lower teeth via the inferior alveolar nerve, not V₂.
