  2. Tensor veli palatini muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_veli_palatini_muscle

    The tensor veli palatini tenses the soft palate and by doing so, assists the levator veli palatini in elevating the palate to occlude and prevent entry of food into the nasopharynx during swallowing. The tensed palate consequently provides a stable platform for elevation of the pharynx during swallowing by the pharyngeal muscles.

  3. Tensor tympani muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_tympani_muscle

    The tensor tympani is a muscle within the middle ear, located in the bony canal above the bony part of the auditory tube, and connects to the malleus bone. Its role is to dampen loud sounds, such as those produced from chewing , shouting, or thunder .

  5. Otic ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otic_ganglion

    They are vasomotor in function. The sensory root comes from the auriculotemporal nerve and is sensory to the parotid gland . The motor fibers supplying the medial pterygoid and the tensor veli palatini and the tensor tympani pass through the ganglion without relay.

  6. Trigeminal motor nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_motor_nucleus

    The trigeminal motor nucleus contains motor neurons that innervate muscles of the first branchial arch, namely the muscles of mastication, the tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid, and anterior belly of the digastric. [1] It is situated in the upper pons, inferior to the lateral part of the floor of the fourth ventricle. [2]

  7. Levator veli palatini - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levator_veli_palatini

    The levator veli palatini (/ l ɪ ˈ v eɪ t ər ˈ v iː l aɪ ˌ p æ l ə ˈ t aɪ n aɪ /) is a muscle of the soft palate and pharynx.It is innervated by the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) via its pharyngeal plexus.

  8. Trigeminal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_nerve

    Its motor function activates the muscles of mastication, the tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid and the anterior belly of the digastric. The trigeminal nerve carries general somatic afferent fibers (GSA), which innervate the skin of the face via ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2) and mandibular (V3) divisions.
