What is the name of one of two holes on the anterior of the mandibular body?

The mental foramen is one of the two holes on the anterior of the mandibular body, located near the lower premolar teeth.


What is the mandibular division of trigeminal nerve?

The mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (V3) is responsible for providing sensation to the lower jaw, teeth, gums, and part of the tongue. It also controls the muscles involved in chewing. It is the largest branch of the trigeminal nerve and exits the skull through the foramen ovale.


What part of the brain conducting the sensory impulse for the lower teeth?

The trigeminal nerve, specifically the mandibular division (V3), is responsible for conducting sensory impulses for the lower teeth. This nerve carries sensory information from the lower jaw to the brain.


Where the inferior alveolar nerve travels?

The inferior alveolar nerve travels through the mandibular canal in the mandible, providing sensory innervation to the lower teeth and surrounding tissues. It branches off from the mandibular nerve, a division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). As it descends, it gives off the mylohyoid nerve and continues into the mandibular foramen, where it enters the bone to supply the molars and premolars. The nerve exits the mandible through the mental foramen as the mental nerve, innervating the chin and lower lip.
