[2025-10-01T18:24:10.312739] [PI reasoning] **Answering TMJ nerve supply**

I need to clarify the sensory nerve supply of the TMJ capsule. From my knowledge of anatomy, the auriculotemporal nerve, which is a branch of the mandibular division V3, primarily supplies sensory information to the TMJ capsule. The masseteric nerve contributes some proprioceptive input, but the main sensory nerve is definitely the auriculotemporal nerve. The auricular nerve options mentioned aren't relevant, so I'll go with A. I should back this up with literature.
