Anatomic Sciences, Booklet 1-M, Question 1
Which of the following nerves innervates the interior buccal mucosa of the floor of the oral cavity?
A. Facial
B. Trigeminal
C. Lingual
D. Mylohyoid
E. Hypoglossal
Answer: Trigeminal
While I agree that trigeminal is a possible answer, I wonder why the answer couldn't also be Lingual. According to the Decks, Lingual is a branch off V3 and provides general sensory innervation to the floor of the mouth (Note: See Nerves Section of Anatomic Sciences, if you are using the decks).
