Identify by its course and target. Distinguish sensory, motor and autonomic components. Confirm its skull-base exit or spinal origin.
Zoom in, then drag to inspect. Keyboard: + / − to zoom, arrows to pan, 0 to reset. Tap the numbered markers to explore parts.

Maxillary division (V2)
Understand what you see.
Sensory division for midface, upper teeth, palate and nasal regions.
Zoom into the original labels. Practise pointing out each structure, then explain it aloud. Diagrams are teaching references; specimen appearance and slide staining vary.
How to recognise it.
- Identify by its course and target
- Distinguish sensory, motor and autonomic components
- Confirm its skull-base exit or spinal origin
Point them out.
Tap a number to open its reference, zoom in and locate the structure. Numbers stay the same across views. This key follows landmarks visible in the reference images.
Think first. Then reveal.
Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.
Examiner-style prompts: identify the structure, explain its relations, then answer the applied follow-up. These are revision questions, not authenticated past papers.
01Identify maxillary division (v2) and give its main role.+
Identify by its course and target. Distinguish sensory, motor and autonomic components. Confirm its skull-base exit or spinal origin. Sensory division for midface, upper teeth, palate and nasal regions.
02Where does V2 leave the cranial cavity?+
Foramen rotundum, entering the pterygopalatine fossa.
03Do parasympathetic fibres originate in V2?+
No. Postganglionic fibres can travel with V2 branches, but the secretomotor pathway originates from VII.
04Point out three important relations and explain their significance.+
Trigeminal ganglion; Foramen rotundum; Pterygopalatine fossa. Sensory division for midface, upper teeth, palate and nasal regions. Use the reference plate to locate the region; the relationship map organises the associations and is not drawn to scale.
