Mandibular nerve

The video tutorial by Wong covers the anatomy and function of the mandibular nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve. It explains the nerve's sensory and motor functions, its branches, and their roles. The tutorial also discusses the trigeminal ganglion and its branches, including the ophthalmic and maxillary nerves. Clinical applications, such as nerve blocks for dental procedures, are also covered.

What is the primary focus of this tutorial?

Through which foramen does the mandibular nerve exit the skull?

• Foramen ovale

• Foramen magnum

• Foramen rotundum

• Foramen spinosum

Which branch of the mandibular nerve supplies the dura mater?

• Auriculotemporal nerve

• Inferior alveolar nerve

• Meningeal branch

• Lingual nerve

What is the function of the masseteric nerve?

• Innervates the temporalis muscle

• Innervates the masseter muscle

• Carries sensory fibers to the cheek

• Innervates the buccinator muscle

Which nerve does not provide motor fibers to the buccinator muscle?

• Lingual nerve

• Auriculotemporal nerve

• Buccal nerve

• Facial nerve

What is the primary function of the auriculotemporal nerve?

• Supplies the dura mater

• Innervates the masseter muscle

• Carries sensory fibers from the temple and ear

• Carries motor fibers to the tongue

Which nerve is responsible for sensory innervation of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue?

• Inferior alveolar nerve

• Facial nerve

• Glossopharyngeal nerve

What is the purpose of a mandibular nerve block?

• To enhance motor function

• To provide anesthesia to the mandibular region

• To stimulate sensory fibers

• To block blood flow

Which nerve is often blocked during dental procedures involving the lower teeth?

• Auriculotemporal nerve

• Lingual nerve

• Inferior alveolar nerve
