The trigeminal nerve has three divisions - ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular. It is a mixed nerve, carrying both motor and sensory fibers. The ophthalmic division innervates the forehead and orbits. The maxillary division innervates the midface, and the mandibular division innervates the lower face, jaw, and neck. Each division has numerous branches that carry sensory information from the face and motor commands to muscles like the masseter and medial pterygoid. The trigeminal ganglion contains the cell bodies of the sensory neurons for cranial nerve V.
