Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The inferior alveolar nerve is a mixed sensory and motor nerve off the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve in the pterogomandibular space of the oral cavity.
Summary
- Location: Pterygomandibular space of oral cavity
- Origin: Posterior trunk of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve
- Course: Behind lateral pterygoid into the mandibular canal via the mandibular foramen
- Branches: nerve to mylohyoid, bifurcates into incisive and mental branches
- Supplies: mylohyoid muscle, anterior belly of digastric muscle, lower jaw teeth and gingivae, skin of lower lip and chin, labial gingivae
- Relations: Deep to lateral pterygoid, lateral to pterygomandibular raphe, between sphenomandibular ligament and ramus of mandible, runs with inferior alveolar artery
