Nerve of the Tensor Veli Palatini Muscle (N. Tensoris Veli Palatini, Pna, Bna; N. Musculi Tensoris Veli Palatini, Jna)

The tensor veli palatini muscle nerve (lat. Nervus musculi tensoris veli palatini) is the nerve that innervates the tensor palatine muscle. This muscle is located in the front of the pharynx and is responsible for closing the velum palatine.

The tensor velum palatini nerve is one of two nerves that innervate this muscle. The second nerve is the nerve of the levator veli palatini muscle, which is located on the opposite side of the pharynx.

An anatomical description of the tensor palatine muscle nerve can be found in various sources, including medical textbooks and atlases. However, in order to obtain more detailed information, it is recommended to consult specialized literature on human anatomy.
