  2. Sensory nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nerve

    A sensory nerve, or afferent nerve, is an anatomic term for a nerve that contains exclusively afferent nerve fibers. [1] Nerves containing also motor fibers are called mixed . Afferent nerve fibers in a sensory nerve carry sensory information toward the central nervous system (CNS) from different sensory receptors of sensory neurons in the ...

  3. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory neurons (including the sensory receptor cells), neural pathways , and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception and interoception .

  4. External nasal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_nasal_nerve

    The external nasal nerve passes inferior-ward through the lateral nasal wall. It provides sensory innervation to the area of skin of the nose between the nasal bones superiorly and the tip of the nose inferiorly (excluding the alar portion surrounding the external nares). [1]

  5. Table of cranial nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_cranial_nerves

    Both sensory and motor Medulla: Located in the jugular foramen. Receives taste from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, provides secretomotor innervation to the parotid gland, and provides motor innervation to the stylopharyngeus. Some sensation is also relayed to the brain from the palatine tonsils.

  6. Lingual nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingual_nerve

    The lingual nerve supplies general somatic afferent (i.e. general sensory) innervation to the mucous membrane of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue (i.e. body of tongue) (whereas the posterior one-third (i.e. root of tongue) is innervated via the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) [citation needed]), the floor of the oral cavity, and the mandibular/inferior lingual gingiva.

  7. Superficial fibular nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superficial_fibular_nerve

    The superficial fibular nerve (also known as superficial peroneal nerve) is a mixed (motor and sensory) nerve that provides motor innervation to the fibularis longus and fibularis brevis muscles, and sensory innervation to skin over the antero-lateral aspect of the leg along with the greater part of the dorsum of the foot (with the exception of the first web space, which is innervated by the ...

  8. Infraorbital nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infraorbital_nerve

    The infraorbital nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of the lower eyelid, [2] the side of the nose, [2] the moveable part of nasal septum, [citation needed] the anterior cheek, [citation needed] and part of the upper lip. [2] It does not provide motor supply to any muscles. [citation needed]

  9. Buccal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_nerve

    The buccal nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of the cheek, the buccal mucosa, buccal periodontium, and gingiva of mandibular/lower molar [2] and second premolar teeth (until the mental foramen). It also issues proprioceptive fibres into the buccinator muscle.
