Sensory Branches 3D

  • Inferior Alveolar Nerve

    • * Enters the mandibular foramen, travels within the mandibular canal, and emerges at the mental foramen to reach the lower lip and chin.
    • * Sensation to lower lip, teeth, and mandibular bone.

 

  • Lingual Nerve

    • * Accompanies the inferior alveolar nerve initially, then branches off to reach the tongue via the lingual foramen.
    • * Taste (anterior two-thirds of tongue) and sensation (floor of mouth).

 

  • Buccal Nerve

    • * Descends from the mandibular nerve, piercing the pterygomandibular raphe to reach the cheek.
    • * Sensation to buccal mucosa and cheek.

 

  • Auriculotemporal Nerve

    • * Ascends from the mandibular nerve, passing through the parotid gland to reach the ear and TMJ.
    • * Sensation to external ear, parotid gland, and TMJ.

 

  • Meningeal Branch (Nervus Spinosus)

    • * Branches off the mandibular nerve near the foramen ovale, re-enters the skull through the foramen spinosum or ovale.
    • * Sensation to the dura mater of the middle cranial fossa and mastoid air cells.
