Concerning questions 4 and 13:
The buccal nerve (GSA) is a branch of the mandibular division of trigeminal, and after coursing thru the two heads of the lateral pterygoid muscls, continues deep to the masseter muscle. This would make 4 false.
The buccal branch of the facial nerve (SVE) courses superficial to the masseter muscle.
4. The buccal nerve passes the lateral aspect of the masseter muscle.
TRUE
13. The buccal nerve conveys SVE and GSA fibers to the buccinator muscle.
FALSE - just GSA
