03b: Trigeminal Flashcards
The trigeminal ganglion is located in (X), where it divides into its major divisions.
X = Meckel’s cave
The first, (X), division of trigeminal n exits the (Y) cranial fossa via the (Z). Which space does it enter?
X = opthalmic Y = middle Z = superior orbital fissue
Enters posterior orbit
The second, (X), division of trigeminal n exits the (Y) cranial fossa via the (Z). Which space does it enter?
X = maxillary Y = middle Z = foramen rotundum
Enters pterygopalatine fossa
The third, (X), division of trigeminal n exits the (Y) cranial fossa via the (Z). Which space does it enter?
X = mandibular Y = middle Z = foramen ovale
Enters infratemporal fossa
List the different CN V nuclei in brainstem that receive sensory information.
- Mesencephalic
- Chief sensory
- Spinal (descending)
(X) CN V nucleus is responsible for controlling the force of the masticatory bite by receiving sensation from (Y) structures.
X = Mesencephalic Y = muscle spindles
(X) CN V nucleus receives signals of pain and temperature.
X = Spinal (descending)
(X) CN V receives the signals of fine touch and pressure
X = Chief sensory
General sensory territory for opthalmic division of CN V.
Skin and mucous membranes of superior aspect of face (including cornea of eye)
List the main branches off opthalmic division of CN V.
- Tentorial
- Frontal (supratrochlear and supraorbital)
- Lacrimal
- Nasociliary
Nasociliary branch of (X) has which branches?
X = opthalmic division of CN V
- Ant/Post ethmoidal
- Short/long ciliary
- Infratrochlear
Sensation to skin of the anteriomedial forehead and medial superior eyelid by (X). (Be specific)
X = Supratrochlear nerve (of V1)
Sensation to middle superior eyelid, anterolateral forehead/scalp, and mucosa of frontal sinus by (X). (Be specific)
X = Supraorbital nerve (of V1)
Supraorbital nerve exits orbit via:
Supraorbital foramen
Lacrimal nerve, a branch of (X), supplies:
X = V1 (opthalmic)
Sensation to lateral superior eyelid and lacrimal gland
Anterior/posterior ethmoidal nerves off of (X) supply:
X = nasociliary branch of V1
Sensation to:
- Ethmoidal air cells
- Sphenoid sinus
- Dura of anterior cranial fossa
External nasal nerve is branch of (X), which is a branch of (Y).
X = anterior ethmoidal nerve Y = Nasociliary nerve (of V1)
Sensation from the iris, cornea and ciliary body by (X) nerve.
X = short and long ciliary (off nasociliary branch of V1)
General sensory territory for maxillary division of CN V.
- Skin/mucous membranes between the corner of the eye and corner of the mouth
- Nasal cavities, midface paranasal sinuses
- Roof of the mouth and maxillary teeth
The maxillary nerve (V2) branches that leave (X) anteriorly via (Y) then emerge into (Z).
X = pterygopalatine fossa Y = inferior orbital fissure Z = the orbit
List the maxillary nerve branches that branch anteriorly.
- Zygomatic
- Orbital
- Infraorbital
Zygomatic branch of V2 further branches into:
Zygomaticofacial and zygomaticotemporal nerves
(X) passes through bone of lateral orbit to emerge via similarly named foramen to supply skin over zygomatic arch.
X = zygomaticofacial (off zygomatic branch of V2)
