3. Posterior superior alveolar nerve
4. Zygomatic nerve
5. Infra-Orbital Nerve
---- 5.A. Middle superior alveolar nerve
---- 5.B. Anterior superior alveolar nerve
---- 5.C. Terminal branches
--------- 5.C.1. Inferior palpebral nerve
--------- 5.C.2. External nasal nerve
--------- 5.C.3. Superior labial nerve

------------------------

3. Posterior Superior Alveolar Nerve
supplies
1- The Pulp
2- The Investing structures
3- The buccal mucoperiosteum of Upper Molars except MB root of 1st molar.

-------------------------

4. The Zygomatic Nerve
Divides into two branches:
1- Zygomatico-Tempopral
2- Zygomatico-Facial

--------------------------

5. The Infra-Orbital Nerve
Divides into:
1- The Middle Superior Alveolar Nerve
2- The Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve
3- Terminal branches (Inferior Palpebral nerve - External Nasal Nerve - Superior Labial Nerve)

--------------------------

5.A. Middle Superior Alveolar Nerve
Supplies
1- Pulp
2- Investing structures
3- buccal mucoperiosteum of Premolars & MB root of 1st molar

--------------------------

5.B. Anterior superior alveolar nerve
Supplies
1- Pulp
2- Investing structures
3- labial mucoperiosteum of anterior teeth

--------------------------

- Sphenopalatine Ganglion
Braches into:
1- Orbital nerve
2- Nasal nerve
3- Palatine nerve
4- Pharyngeal nerve

--------------------------

- The greater (anterior) palatine nerve
Supplies palatal mucoperiosteum of maxillary molars & premolars

- The lesser ( posterior ) palatine nerve
supplies uvula, soft palate & posterior part of the hard palate

--------------------------

- Nasal Branches
1- Long sphenopalatine nerve (nasopalatine nerve) - supplies palatal mucoperiosteum of maxillary anterior teeth
2- Short sphenopalatine nerve
