Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy [edit on Wikidata]

In neuroanatomy, the maxillary nerve (V₂) is one of the three branches or divisions of the trigeminal nerve, the fifth (CN V) cranial nerve. It comprises the principal functions of sensation from the maxilla, nasal cavity, sinuses, the palate and subsequently that of the mid-face,^[1] and is intermediate, both in position and size, between the ophthalmic nerve and the mandibular nerve.^[2]
