Q1. Which branch of V2 arises in the middle cranial fossa and supplies dura mater?

  • Infraorbital nerve
  • Greater palatine nerve
  • Posterior superior alveolar nerve
  • Meningeal branch

Q2. Which V2 branch divides into zygomaticofacial and zygomaticotemporal branches?

  • Zygomatic nerve
  • Greater palatine nerve
  • Infraorbital nerve
  • Nasopalatine nerve

Q3. Which branch commonly supplies the maxillary molar teeth?

  • Anterior superior alveolar nerve
  • Posterior superior alveolar nerve
  • Mental nerve
  • Inferior alveolar nerve

Q4. Which superior alveolar branch typically supplies the maxillary incisors and canine?

  • Inferior alveolar nerve
  • Buccal nerve
  • Anterior superior alveolar nerve
  • Posterior superior alveolar nerve

Q5. Which V2-associated nerve supplies much of the hard palate anterior to the region served by the lesser palatine nerves?

  • Greater palatine nerve
  • Lingual nerve
  • Lesser palatine nerve
  • Auriculotemporal nerve

Q6. Which nerve supplies sensation to the anterior hard palate near the incisors?

  • Long buccal nerve
  • Mental nerve
  • Greater auricular nerve
  • Nasopalatine nerve

Q7. What is the relationship of V2 to the pterygopalatine ganglion?

  • V2 becomes the facial nerve inside the ganglion
  • V2 motor neurons synapse in the ganglion
  • V2 sensory fibers communicate with and pass through the ganglion without synapsing
  • All V2 sensory neurons originate in the ganglion

Q8. Which nerve carries postganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the pterygopalatine ganglion toward the lacrimal nerve?

  • Zygomatic nerve
  • Inferior alveolar nerve
  • Lingual nerve
  • Nasociliary nerve directly from V2

Q9. Which portion of the nasal cavity receives sensory fibers distributed through V2-associated branches from the pterygopalatine fossa?

  • Only the nasal vestibule through V3
  • No part of the nasal cavity
  • Only the olfactory epithelium
  • Posterior and inferior nasal cavity

Q10. Which terminal branches arise from the infraorbital nerve on the face?

  • Mental, incisive, and mylohyoid branches
  • Auricular, temporal, and cervical branches
  • Inferior palpebral, lateral nasal, and superior labial branches
  • Supraorbital, supratrochlear, and infratrochlear branches
