Which of the following structures is formed by branching while in the infratemporal fossa?

Middle meningeal artery branching from the maxillary artery

Several of the answers have incorrect pairs, while others are correct pairings but do not branch in the infratemporal region. Answer A is incorrect because chorda tympani does not branch from the lingual nerve. Rather, it joins a branch of V3 to form the lingual nerve. Chorda tympani is actually a branch of the facial nerve, but the process branching occurs will in the middle ear, not infratemporal fossa. Therefore, answer B is incorrect. The nerve to the mylohyoid does branch in the infratemporal fossa, but not from the lingual or facial nerves. It is a branch of V3 (trigeminal). Therefore, answers C and D are incorrect. The middle meningeal artery is a branch of the maxillary artery and this occurs in the infratemporal fossa. Therefore answer F is correct and E is incorrect. Lastly, the lingual artery is a branch of the external carotid artery, but this occurs more caudally (in the neck), making both G and H incorrect.
