Mandibular nerve | posterior division branches | Lingual, Auriculotemporal,inferior alveolar nerve

Mandibular nerve is the largest of the 3 divisions of the trigeminal(5th) cranial nerve carrying both sensory and motor fibres.and innervates derivatives of the 1st pharyngeal arch. Origin- It is a mixed nerve formed of 2 roots: a)sensory root-which arises from the trigeminal ganglion and runs forwards and laterally toward foramen ovale b) Motor root-a smaller root which arises from the trigeminal motor nucleus in the pons and runs deep to the trigeminal ganglion to join the sensory root in the foramen ovale. The two roots unite together in the foramen ovale to form the main trunk mandibular nerve(mixed) The main trunk gives 2 branches,and then divides into 2 divisions(small anterior and large posterior) about 1/2cm below the foramen ovale Part 1-dealt with detailed explanation on each branch from the main trunk and the anterior division Part 2-branches from posterior division-Auriculotemporal nerve,Lingual nerve and the inferior alveolar nerve Link to part 1-    • Mandibular nerve detailed | Origin |course...
