What Innervates the pterygoid muscle?
The lateral pterygoid muscle receives innervation from the mandibular branch of cranial nerve V (trigeminal nerve). According to some authors, this muscle may also receive innervation from the anterior, middle, and posterior deep temporal nerves, masseteric nerve, and sometimes from the buccal nerve.
What is lateral pterygoid innervated by?
mandibular nerve
The lateral pterygoid muscle is innervated by the nerve to lateral pterygoid muscle, a branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V3). In fact, there is one nerve for each head.
Which nerve Innervates the chewing muscle?
Unlike most of the other facial muscles, which are innervated by the facial nerve (or CN VII), the muscles of mastication are innervated by the trigeminal nerve (or CN V).
Which cranial nerve innervates the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius?
the XI nerve
The muscles innervated directly by the XI nerve are the trapezius and the sternocleidomastoid, in addition to the laryngeal musculature (in collaboration with the vagus nerve), such as the palatal, pharyngeal, laryngeal muscles.

What does the Ian innervate?
The IAN innervates the mandibular primary and permanent teeth. This nerve enters the mandibular foramen on the lingual aspect of the mandible. The position of the foramen changes by remodeling more superiorly from the occlusal plane as the child matures into adulthood.
Which nerve Innervates the maxillary first and second premolars?
posterior superior alveolar nerve

What is the innervation of the tongue?
Taste to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is achieved through innervation from the chorda tympani nerve, a branch of the facial nerve (CN VII). General sensation to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is by innervation from the lingual nerve, a branch of the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V3).
