Maxillary Nerve | Maxillary nerve, Nerve, Maxillary sinus

The second nerve division or V2 from the sensory root of the trigeminal nerve is the maxillary nerve, which is set between the other two divisions both in size and location. The afferent nerve branches of the maxillary nerve carry sensory information for the maxillae and its overlying skin, oral mucosa, maxillary sinuses, nasal cavity, palate, nasopharynx, and part of the dura mater.

Other afferent nerve branches of the PSA 
nerve originate from dental branches in the pulp of the maxillary molars and exit the teeth by way of the apical foramina, as well as the interdental branches and interradicular branches from the periodontium. Thus some branches of the PSA nerve remain external to the posterior surface of the 
maxilla.

The PSA nerve serves as an afferent nerve for the mucous membranes of the maxillary sinus and the maxillary molars with the associated buccal periodontium and gingiva in most cases unless the MSA nerve is present. These are the external branches that provide afferent innervation for the maxillary molars. The PSA nerve, like the ASA and MSA nerves, is part of the superior dental plexus within the maxillary arch.
