Question

What gives cutaneous sensory branches of mandibular temple region of head?

(a) CNV3 (Trigeminal nerve, Mandibular division)
(b) CNV1 (Trigeminal nerve, Ophthalmic division)
(c) CNV2 (Trigeminal nerve, Maxillary division)
(d) CN VII (Facial nerve)

Answer 1

The sensory branches for the mandibular temple region of the head are provided by the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cutaneous sensory branches of the mandibular region of the head are provided by the mandibular division (CNV3) of the trigeminal nerve (CNV). The trigeminal nerve is responsible for conveying sensation from the face to the brain and has three divisions: ophthalmic (CNV1), maxillary (CNV2), and mandibular (CNV3). The mandibular division is significant for both sensory and motor functions, including cutaneous sensations from the lower part of the face and movements of mastication muscles.
