NAME MEDICAL SCIENCE

Alveolar nerve - a branch of the superior olfactory nerve that carries impulses from the sensory fibers of the trigeminal nerve to the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus. A branch of the maxillary nerve passes through the greater cleft palatine and reaches the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity. Its sensitive fibers are distributed throughout the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus. This nerve is called the upper alveolar nervous system, and the branches to the mucous membrane of the gums or teeth are called the mandibular nerve of the maxilla.
