Is inferior alveolar nerve sensory or motor?

Which muscle is affected during inferior alveolar nerve block?

The muscle affected during an inferior alveolar nerve block is the temporalis muscle.

Nerve that helps feel a toothache?

On the top (maxilla) it is the superior alveolar nerve. On the bottom (mandible) it is the inferior alveolar nerve.

What are the three branches of the mandibular nerve?

The mandibular nerve, which is the third division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), has three main branches: the anterior trunk, the posterior trunk, and the auriculotemporal nerve. The anterior trunk primarily supplies motor innervation to the muscles of mastication and sensory innervation to the buccal region. The posterior trunk provides sensory innervation to the lower jaw, teeth, and tongue through branches such as the inferior alveolar nerve and the lingual nerve. These branches play vital roles in both sensory and motor functions in the lower face and jaw.

What kind of nerve is the trigeminal nerve?

Cranial Nerve 5 (trigeminal), division V3 contains a buccal nerve, a lingual nerve and an inferior alveolar nerve.

Are cranial nerves motor or sensory?

sensory nerve

Which Nerve supplies the third molars?

Your third molars, or wisdom teeth as they are often called, are supplied by the inferior alveolar nerve (lower thirds) and the posterior superior alveolar nerve (upper thirds), which are branches of the Trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve.

Does the peripheral nervous system have sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells.?

Yes, the peripheral nervous system has both sensory and motor nerve cells

Are the spinal nerve both sensory and motor?

motor

Is vagus nerve a motor nerve?

Yes, the vagus nerve is a mixed nerve that contains both motor and sensory fibers. It is responsible for controlling various involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing.

Is the trigeminal nerve primarily responsible for sensory or motor functions?

The trigeminal nerve is primarily responsible for sensory functions.

What are pulpal reaction to local anesthesia?

The most commonly used local anesthetic is lidocaine (also called xylocaine or lignocaine), a modern replacement for novocaine and procaine. Its half-life in the body is about 1.5-2 hours. Other local anesthetics in current use include articaine, septocaine, marcaine (a long-acting anesthetic), and mepivacaine. A combination of these may be used depending on the situation. Also, most agents come in two forms: with and without epinephrine. The most common technique, effective for the lower teeth and jaw, is inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia. An injection blocks sensation in the inferior alveolar nerve, which runs from the angle of the mandible down the medial aspect of the mandible, innervating the lower teeth, lower lip, chin, and tongue. The inferior alveolar nerve probably is anesthetized more often than any other nerve in the body. To anesthetize this nerve, the dentist inserts the needle somewhat posterior to the patient's last molar. Several nondental nerves are usually anesthetized during an inferior alveolar block. Themental nerve, which supplies cutaneous innervation to the anterior lip and chin, is a distal branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. When the inferior alveolar nerve is blocked, the mental nerve is blocked also, resulting in a numb lip and chin. Nerves lying near the point where the inferior alveolar nerve enters the mandible often are also anesthetized during inferior alveolar anesthesia. For example, the lingual nerve can be anesthetized to produce a numb tongue. The facial nerve lies some distance from the inferior alveolar nerve, but in rare cases anesthetic can diffuse far enough posteriorly to anesthetize that nerve. The result is a temporary facial palsy (paralysis or paresis), with the injected side of the face drooping because of flaccid muscles, which disappears when the anesthesia wears off. If the facial nerve is cut by an improperly inserted needle, permanent facial palsy may occur.

Is nasal nerve motor or sensory?

The nasal nerves is sensory as it is for your sense of smell.
