The supplies the mucous membrane of the anterior two-thirds of the
Tongue .
It lies at first beneath the
Pterygoideus Externus , medial to and in front of the
Inferior Alveolar Nerve , and is occasionally joined to this nerve by a branch which may cross the
Internal Maxillary Artery .
The
Chorda Tympani also joins it at an acute angle in this situation.
The nerve then passes between the
Pterygoideus Internus and the ramus of the
Mandible , and crosses obliquely to the side of the tongue over the
Constrictor Pharyngis Superior and
Styloglossus , and then between the
Hyoglossus and deep part of the
Submaxillary Gland ; it finally runs across the duct of the submaxillary gland, and along the tongue to its tip, lying immediately beneath the
Mucous Membrane .
