Nervus auriculotemporalis: rama del maxilar inferior compuesto de forma mixta por fibras del sistema parasimpático (que inervan a las glándulas salivares) y del sistema simpático (que inervan a los vasos subcutáneos y las glándulas ecrinas), da además sensibilidad al trago y a la porción ascendente del hélix.

   <(F): Nerf auriculotemporal: ce nerf branche du contingent sensitif du nerf V3, donne des branches sous-cutanées en regard du tragus. Il innerve la zone auriculaire et temporale superficielle.

   <(Ing): Auriculotemporal nerve: is a branch of the mandibular nerve that runs with the superficial temporal artery and vein, and provides sensory innervation to various regions on the side of the head. Branches: acousti branches, to the external acoustic meatus; Auricular branches: anterior auricular branches to the tragus; Articular branches to temporomandibular joint; Parotid branches, parasympathetic secretomotor fibers to the parotid gland which relay in the otic ganglion and pass to the auriculotemporal nerve; Temporal branches; Cutaneous branches to skin of temporal region. Root: Sensory root is from the sensory nuclei extending from the spinal nucleus of trigeminal from the substantia gelatinosa of the upper cervical region to the medulla, and the pontine nucleus which lies in the floor of the 4th ventricle. This extends to the midbrain mesencephalic nucleus of V.
