Structures passing through foramen ovale______________?
Correct answer: D. A & B
- A. Emissary vein
- B. Mandibular nerve
- C. Trigeminal nerve
- D. A & B
Explanation
The foramen ovale transmits the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve and may also transmit an emissary vein. The trigeminal nerve as a whole does not pass through it, so A and B together are correct.
