Which nerve and branch provides sensory innervation of the lower gums teeth lips and palate?

The trigeminal nerve (V cranial nerve) is primarily responsible for sensory innervation of the lower gums, teeth, lips, and palate. Specifically, the branches involved in this innervation are the mandibular nerve (V3) for the lower gums and teeth and the maxillary nerve (V2) for the lips and palate.


How does the trigeminal nerve function in relation to the condition known as trigeminal neuralgia?

The trigeminal nerve is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the face to the brain. In trigeminal neuralgia, this nerve becomes irritated or compressed, causing severe facial pain.


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

The trigeminal nerve is primarily responsible for sensory functions.


What is the Trigeminal branch to the tongue?

None actually go to the tongue... Trigeminal nerve - (V) fifth cranial nerve V1: Ophtalmic-eye, forehead and nose.1-Sensory V2: Maxillary - upper teeth, gums and lip, the cheek, lower eyelid and the side of the nose.1-Sensory V3: Mandibular - lower teeth, lower gums and lower lip.1-Sensory - Jaw.2-Motor 1SENSORY: Transmits pressure, touch, pain and temperature signals to the brain. 2MOTOR: Controls movement. http://www.tnaaustralia.org.au


What is Nerve supply of tip of the tongue?

The tip of the tongue is supplied by the lingual nerve, a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (CN V3). It provides sensory innervation to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, including the tip.

What neural injury will the corneal reflex not test for?

The corneal reflex will not test for injuries to the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) as it primarily assesses the integrity of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve.

A cranial reflex that is often used to test the sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is the?

corneal reflex. It involves touching the cornea with a wisp of cotton, which should trigger a blinking response mediated by the trigeminal nerve, specifically the ophthalmic branch. This reflex assesses the sensory function of the trigeminal nerve in detecting sensations on the cornea.
