Summary of the Video: Maxillary Division of Trigeminal Nerve (V2 or Vb) / Maxillary Nerve - Anatomy Animation
Main Ideas and Concepts:
- Maxillary Nerve Overview:
- The Maxillary Nerve is the second division of the Trigeminal Nerve (cranial nerve V).
- It is purely sensory.
- Originates from the convex anterior part of the trigeminal ganglion.
- Passes through several anatomical regions in sequence: middle cranial fossa → pterygopalatine fossa → orbit → face.
- Exits the middle cranial fossa via the foramen rotundum.
- Enters the orbit through the inferior orbital fissure.
- Continues as the infraorbital nerve along the floor of the orbit, exiting the face via the infraorbital foramen.
- Course of the Maxillary Nerve:
- Traverses four main regions:
- Middle cranial fossa
- Pterygopalatine fossa
- Orbit
- Face
- The Pterygopalatine Ganglion is suspended from the Maxillary Nerve by two roots.
- Traverses four main regions:
- Branches of the Maxillary Nerve:
- Middle Cranial Fossa:
- Meningeal branch: Supplies dura mater of the middle cranial fossa.
- Pterygopalatine Fossa:
- Ganglionic (communicating) branches: Two branches to the Pterygopalatine Ganglion.
- Zygomatic Nerve: Enters the orbit, divides into:
- Zygomaticotemporal branch: Passes through a foramen in the zygomatic bone to supply the skin of the temple.
- Zygomaticofacial branch: Passes through another foramen in the zygomatic bone to supply the skin of the face.
- Posterior Superior Alveolar Nerve: Enters foramina on the posterior surface of the maxilla, supplies mucous membrane of maxillary sinus, and forms the superior dental plexus for molar teeth and adjacent gums.
- Orbit / Infraorbital Canal:
- Middle Superior Alveolar Nerve: Passes along lateral wall of maxillary sinus, joins superior dental plexus, supplies premolar teeth.
- Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve: Runs through anterior wall of maxillary sinus in a bony canal (canalis sinuosus), divides into:
- Dental branches: Join superior dental plexus, supply canine and incisor teeth.
- Nasal branches: Appear in lateral wall of inferior meatus, supply mucous membrane of lateral wall and floor of nasal cavity.
- Middle Cranial Fossa:
- Superior Dental Plexus:
- Formed by the posterior, middle, and anterior superior alveolar nerves.
- Supplies the molar, premolar, canine, and incisor teeth along with adjacent gums.
- Branches on the Face:
- Palpebral branches: Supply skin of the lower eyelid.
- Nasal branches: Supply skin of the side of the nose and the mobile part of the nasal septum.
- Superior labial branches: Supply skin and mucous membrane of the upper lip.
Methodology / List of Instructions (Nerve Branches and Their Areas of Supply):
- Identify the Maxillary Nerve as a sensory nerve branching from the trigeminal ganglion.
- Trace its path through:
- Middle cranial fossa (foramen rotundum)
- Pterygopalatine fossa
- Orbit (inferior orbital fissure)
- Face (infraorbital foramen)
- Recognize the Pterygopalatine Ganglion’s connection via two roots.
- Note the branches and their supply areas:
- Meningeal branch → dura mater (middle cranial fossa)
- Ganglionic branches → Pterygopalatine Ganglion
- Zygomatic Nerve → skin of temple and face
- Posterior Superior Alveolar Nerve → maxillary sinus mucosa, molar teeth, gums
- Middle Superior Alveolar Nerve → premolar teeth
- Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve → canine and incisor teeth, nasal cavity mucosa
- Palpebral branches → lower eyelid skin
- Nasal branches → side of nose, nasal septum
- Superior labial branches → upper lip skin and mucosa
