  1. #All true about mandibular nerve D is definitely wrong .... The buccinator muscle is innervated by buccal branch of facial not mandibular -_-

    1. The correct answer for the nerve supply for the motor action of the buccinator muscle is option A: Facial nerve.

      The buccinator muscle is innervated by the buccal branch of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). The buccal branch arises from the main trunk of the facial nerve and provides motor innervation to the buccinator muscle, which is responsible for compressing the cheeks during actions like blowing, sucking, and chewing.
