The branches of the fifth cranial nerve affected by massage include the supraorbital nerve, zygomatic nerve, and the:

  1. Mandibular Nerve

  2. Infraorbital Nerve

  3. Auriculotemporal Nerve

  4. Buccal Nerve

The correct answer is: Infraorbital Nerve

The branches of the fifth cranial nerve that are specifically affected by massage are the supraorbital nerve, zygomatic nerve, and the infraorbital nerve. This is because these nerves are located in the areas around the forehead, cheeks, and upper jaw, which are often the areas that are focused on during massage. The mandibular nerve, auriculotemporal nerve, and buccal nerve are not typically directly affected by massage, although they may indirectly benefit from improved circulation and relaxation in the surrounding muscles and tissues.
