Exits
Ophthalamic   Frontal   Superior Orbital Fissure, superior to centeral ring tendon   Divides into Supraorbital and Supratrochlear Branches   Supraorbital & Supratrochlear Foramina to supply skin ovr orbit and forehead  
Ophthalamic   Lacrimal   Superior Orbital Fissure superior to centeral ring tendon   courses laterally in orbit, provides sensory innervation to lacrimal gland. Postganglionic parasymp. fibers to lacrimal gland via lacricmal nerver   n/a  
Ophthalamic   Nasocilliary   Superior Orbital Fissure within central ring tendon   Course lateral to medial by crossing superior to optic nerve. Connects to ciliary ganlion via sensory root. Gives off long ciliary nerves to eye, ethmoidal branches to ethmoidal sinuses all sensory   n/a  
Maxillary   Maxillary   Pterygopalatine fossa vai Foramen Rotundum.   Within fossa it is attached to the Pterygopalatine ganglion and via branches from the ganglion it provides sensory innervation to the nasal cavity and oral cavities. Divides into Zygomatic an Infraorbital Nerves   n/a  
Maxillary   Infraorbital Nerve   Exits pterygopalatine fossa via Inferior Orbital Fissure to enter floor of the orbit   Within the orbital floot, it enters the Infraorbital Canal   Exits skull via Inraorbital Foramen to supply the face between the mouth and the orbit  
Maxillary   Zygomatic Nerve   Exits pterygopalatine fossa via inferior Orbital Fissure to enter floor of the orbit   Courses in the lateral wall of the orbit sending a branch (postganglionic parasymp.) to lacrimal nerve   exits the orbit as the zygomaticofacial and temporal nerves  
Mandibular   Mandibular   Enters infratemporal fossa via Foramen Ovale   Innervates muscles of mastication and gives off 4 sensory branches. Nerve to Mylohyoid branch is motor to Mylohyoid and Anterior Belly of the Digastri Muscle   n/s  
Mandibular   Buccal Nerve   Pierces the buccinator muscle to supply sensory innervation to the mucosa of the check   n/a   n/a  
Mandibular   Auriculotemporal   Splits around middle meningeal artery   continues latterally to the parotid gland and skin anterior to the ear. Postganglionic parasymp. fibers from the otic ganglion hitchhike on it to the parotid gland   n/a  
Mandibular   Inferior Alveolar Nerve   Enters Mandibular Foramen   Supplies the manibular teeth   Exits mandible via Mental Foramen to supply skin on the chin  
Mandibular   Lingual Nerve   (blank)   Courses anterior into the floor of the mouth where it's sensory to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. Preganlionic Parasymp. & Taste fibers from the CHORDA TYMPANI NERVE (VII branch) join it in the infratemporal fossa. The submandibular ganglion is attach   (blank)
