1 - 3gem n. Flashcards
general considerations in studying trigeminal nerve
- mixed nerve
- largest of the CN
- paired nerves
- nerves anastomose
pathway or where fibers originate?
posterior part of brain and spinal cord –> middle cranial fossa to form trigeminal ganglion
other name for trigeminal ganglion
gasserian ganglion/semilunar
where is the gasserian ganglion located
Meckel’s cavity in the middle cranial fossa (anterior to the pons)
T/F anesthesia should affect the motor root of the trigeminal nerve
FALSE! it should NOT!
motor root of the CNV originates in the ___ w/in the ____
motor nucleus within the pons and medulla oblongata
structures innervated by the motor fibers of the trigeminal nerve supply
- MoM - TIME
- Mylohyoid
- anterior belly of the digastric muscle
- tensor tympani
- tensor veli palatini
Sensory or motor root: constitute the central processes of ganglion cells
sensory
T/F sensory root supply the skin of the entire face and mucous membrane of entire cranial viscera and oral cavity except for the pharynx and posterior 1/3 of the tongue
True
smallest of the 3 branches of CNV
ophthalmic nerve
exit of v1
superior orbital fissure
3 main divisions of v1
lacrimal (smallest)
frontal (largest)
nasocilliary
innervates the lacrimal gland
lacrimal nerve
innervates the adjacent conjunctiva
lacrimal nerve of v1
frontal nerve of v1 branches into 2 before exiting the ___
supraorbital notch/foramen
innervates the skin of upper eyelid
superior orbital nerve (of frontal nerve)
innervates the lateral forehead
superior orbital nerve (of frontal nerve)
innervates the anterior scalp region
superior orbital nerve (of frontal nerve)
branches of frontal nerve
superior orbital
superior trochlear
innervates the medial portion of forehead
superior trochlear nerve (of frontal nerve)
innervates the part of skin of upper eyelid
superior trochlear nerve (of frontal nerve)
mostly by superior orbital tho
innervates the iris and cornea
long ciliary nerve
branches of nasocilliary nerve
short & long ciliary nerves
posterior & anterior ethmoid nerve
infratrochlear nerve
branches of anterior ethmoid
internal nasal and external nasal
posterior ethmoid enters the __
posterior ethmoid canal
supplies the frontal sinus
anterior ethmoid nerve
supplies mucous membrane inside the nose
internal nasal branch
supplies mucous membrane tip of the nose and skin over the ala
external nasal
supplies skin over the bridge of nose
infratrochlear nerve
exit of maxillary nerve
foramen rotundum
ro2ndum
small branch of maxillary nerve in the cranium
middle meningeal nerve
nerve to the dura
middle meningeal nerve
zygomatic nerve branches of v2
zygomaticofacial
zygomaticotemporal
zygomaticofacial n. passes forward on the ___ and pierces through the _____
lateral orbital foramen
orbicularis oculi muscle
leaves the orbit between the great wing of sphenoid and the zygomatic bone to enter the temporal fossa
zygomaticotemporal n
supplies skin over the prominence of the zygomatic bone
zygomaticofacial n
supplies the skin over the anterior temporal fossa region
zygomaticotemporal n
branches of v2 within the pterygopalatine fossa
zygomatic nerve branches
sphenopalatine ganglion
posterior superior alveolar nerve (PSAN)
sphenopalatine ganglion branches (of v2 within pterygopalatine fossa)
- orbital branches
- nasal branches
- -nasopalatine nerve
- -posterior superior lateral nerve - palatine branches
- -greater/anterior palatine nerve
- -middle palatine nerve
- -posterior palatine nerve - pharyngeal branches
nasopalatine exits through —
nasopalatine foramen
