branches which pass through the sphenoidal fissure and temporal branches 

 which pass through foramina in the great wing of the sphenoid to the temporal 

 fossa. (4) Small meningeal may be a branch of the middle meningeal. It 

 passes through the foramen ovale to the Gasserian ganglion. (5) Inferior 

 dental passes with the interior dental nerve of the fifth cranial nerve into the 

 inferior dental canal to the mental foramen where it divides into two branches, 

 (a) the incisor branch which passes to the incisor teeth and adjacent structures, 

 and (b) mental branch which runs through the mental foramen to the chin. 

 A mylo-hyoid which arises at the inferior dental foramen passes in the mylo- 

 hyoid groove of the lower jaw to the Mylo-hyoid muscle.

Pterygoid portion gives off (1) ANTERIOR DEEP TEMPORAL and (2) POSTER- 

 IOR deep temporal, which branches pass under the temporal muscle to the 

 temporal fossa, (3) pterygoid branches to the Pterygoid muscles. (4) M w- 

 BETERIC branches which pass through the sigmoid notch to the Masseter mus- 

 cle, (5) BUCCAL branch which passes between the ramus and the Internal ptery- 

 goid muscle to the outer surface of the Buccinator muscle. 



The spheno-inaxillary portion gives off (1) alveolar or POSTERIOR dental 

 branch, which runs to (a) the tuberosity of the superior maxillary hone, (b) 

 posterior dental canals, (c) alveolar process, (d) gums. (2) [nferior orbital 

 which arises with the posterior dental runs in the inferior orbital canal to the
