The nerve to masseter passes
1. deep to the medial pterygoid muscle
2. posterior to temporomandibular joint
3. superior to zygomatic arch to enter the muscle on its medial surface

Which of the following does not apply to the facial artery?
1. It has two portions cervical and facial
2. It arises just above the lingual artery from the anterior part of the external carotid
3. It crosses the mandible at anterior edge of masseter muscle
4. Its cervical portion lies beneath platysma muscle and facial portion lies superficial in carotid triangle
Anatomy
Answer: 4
Facial Artery:
1: True, it has cervical and facial portions.
2: True, it arises from the external carotid artery above the lingual artery.
3: True, it crosses the mandible at the anterior edge of the masseter muscle.
4: False, the cervical portion lies beneath the platysma,
but the facial portion does not exactly lie "superficial in the carotid
triangle"; rather, the facial artery travels more superficially than the
cervical part in its course.
The artery chiefly responsible for blood supply to the mandible is 1. inferior alveolar artery 2.sphenomandibular artery 3. mylohyoid artery 4.stylomandibular artery
Anatomy Answer: 1The artery chiefly responsible for blood supply to the mandible is inferior alveolar artery
