Which muscle of the soft palate receives its nerve supply from the mandibular nerve?

Explanation

Among the muscles of the soft palate, only the tensor veli palatini is innervated by the mandibular nerve (a branch of the trigeminal nerve). The other muscles, such as levator veli palatini, palatoglossus, and musculus uvulae, receive innervation from the pharyngeal plexus via the vagus nerve.
