What Is the Mandibular Nerve?
The mandibular ganglia is a mixed nerve that exits the skull through the oval hole. The sensory fibers are distributed in the mandibular teeth, gums, anterior tongue and mucous membrane of the oral cavity, and facial skin below the cleft; the motor nerves dominate the function of the masticatory muscles.
