Nervus mandibularis

This tutorial provides an in-depth look at the mandibular nerve, the third branch of the trigeminal nerve. It covers the nerve's structure, its sensory and motor functions, and its various branches. The tutorial also discusses the trigeminal nerve's nuclei and the clinical aspects of mandibular nerve anesthesia. Key branches such as the temporal auricular nerve, inferior alveolar nerve, and lingual nerve are explored, highlighting their roles and connections.
