  2. Tensor veli palatini muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_veli_palatini_muscle

    The tensor veli palatini muscle receives motor innervation from the mandibular nerve (CN V 3) (a branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V)) [2] via the nerve to medial pterygoid. [ 1 ] It is the only muscle of the palate not innervated by the pharyngeal plexus, which is formed by the vagal and glossopharyngeal nerves.

  3. Trigeminal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_nerve

    The sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is to provide tactile, proprioceptive, and nociceptive afference to the face and mouth. Its motor function activates the muscles of mastication, the tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid and the anterior belly of the digastric.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 .

  6. 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.

  7. Medial pterygoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_pterygoid_muscle

    This also supplies the tensor tympani muscle and the tensor veli palatini muscle. The medial pterygoid nerve is a main trunk from the mandibular nerve, before the division of the trigeminal nerve - this is unlike the lateral pterygoid muscle, and all other muscles of mastication which are supplied by the anterior division of the mandibular nerve.

  8. Chorda tympani - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorda_tympani

    Injury to the chorda tympani nerve leads to loss or distortion of taste from anterior 2/3 of tongue. [13] However, taste from the posterior 1/3 of tongue (supplied by the glossopharyngeal nerve) remains intact. The chorda tympani appears to exert a particularly strong inhibitory influence on other taste nerves, as well as on pain fibers in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_muscle

    A tensor muscle has the function of tensing (stretching or tightening) a part and may refer to: Tensor fasciae latae muscle; Tensor tympani muscle; Tensor vastus intermedius muscle; Tensor veli palatini muscle
