wall of the cavernous sinus, just inferior to the ophthalmic division, and leaves the cranial cavity
through the foramen rotundum to enter the pterygopalatine fossa. which branches does it give off?,
-gives off branches to the pterygopalatine ganglion
-continues anteriorly to enter the orbit through the inferior
orbital fissure
- Within the orbit the maxillary division divides into its terminal branches - the
zygomatic and infraorbital nerves.
