In neuroanatomy , the mandibular nerve ( V 3 ) is the largest of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve , the fifth cranial nerve (CN V). Unlike the other divisions of the trigeminal nerve ( ophthalmic nerve , maxillary nerve ) which contain only afferent fibers , the mandibular nerve contains both afferent and efferent fibers . These nerve fibers innervate structures of the lower jaw and face, such as the tongue , lower lip , and chin . The mandibular nerve also innervates the muscles of mastication .

The nerve then divides into a small anterior division and a large posterior division. The mandibular nerve gives off the following branches: Anterior Division (Motor Innervation - Muscles of mastication ) (Sensory Innervation) Posterior Division Lingual Split (general sensory innervation ( not special sensory for taste)) Inferior Alveolar Split (Motor Innervation) (Sensory Innervation) Auriculotemporal Split Meningeal branch of
