The opthalmic nerve is a sensory nerve composed of '''general somatic afferent fibres''' and passes through the '''orbital fissue'''. As it enters the orbit of the eye it splits further into the '''lacrimal nerve''', the '''frontal nerve''', the '''nasociliary nerve''' and the '''infratrochlear nerve'''. Therefore the nerve supplies sensory fibres to many aspects of the eye orbit.

The maxillary nerve passes through the '''round foramen''' and the '''alar canal'''.

The maxillary nerve is a sensory nerve composed of '''general somatic afferent fibres'''. The maxillary nerve passes through the '''round foramen''' and the '''alar canal'''. It also runs across the wall of the '''pterygopalatine fossa''' and enters the '''infraorbital canal''' via the '''maxillary foramen'''. Whilst in the infraorbital canal the maxillary nerve branch then branches further into the '''infraorbital nerve''' which supplies sensory fibres to the teeth. On exiting the infraorbital canal via the infraorbital foramen, the maxillary nerve branches again into the '''zygomatic nerve''' which supplies sensory fibres to the horn and to the '''pterygopalatine nerve''' supplying sensory fibres to the palate.

The mandibular nerve passes through the '''oval foramen'''.

The mandibular nerve is a mixed sensory '''(general somatic afferent fibres)''' and motor '''(general somatic efferent)''' nerves. The mandibular nerve passes through the '''oval foramen'''. It provides motor branches to the masticatory muscles, the ventral throat and muscles of the palate. The mandibular nerve further branches into the '''masticatory nerve''', the '''masseteric nerve''' and the '''temporal nerve'''. The mandibular nerve provides sensory branches called the '''buccal nerve''', the '''auriculotemporal nerve''', and then itself divides into two smaller branches; the '''lingual nerve''' and the '''inferior alveolar nerve'''. The '''lingual nerve''' receives sensory taste fibres and also connects some sensory taste fibres to parasympathetic salivary glands via the '''chorda tympani'''.
