adult maxillary nerve
ID: FBbt_00004043
Mixed sensory-motor nerve that innervates the adult gnathal ganglion (GNG) (Ito et al., 2014. It contains ~120 axons from the sensory cells of the maxillary appendages entering the maxillary neuromere of the GNG and GNG motor axons travelling to maxillary musculature (Nayak and Singh, 1985; Ito et al., 2014. The maxillary nerve is fused with the labial nerve for much of its length, forming the maxillary-labial nerve (Ito et al., 2014. (Rajashekhar and Singh, 1994, Nayak and Singh, 1985)
Miller, (1950) considers the maxillary nerve to be a branch of the compound maxillary-labial nerve. More recent studies (e.g. Rajashekhar and Singh, 1994, or Nayak and Singh, 1985) consider the maxillary nerve and labial nerve to be separate anastomosing nerves.
