mandibular nerve
The largest of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve. The mandibular nerve arises from the lower part of the convex border of the trigeminal ganglion, and leaves the cranial cavity almost at once by descending through the foramen ovale. Before leaving, it gives a meningeal twig to the dura mater.
