30
Q

How do the sensory fibres of the trigeminal nerve exit the skull?

A

•Exits brainstem as two roots: Motor and sensory
•Sensory root travels to trigeminal ganglion
– Three branches

•Motor: travel with the mandibular division
–Muscles of mastication
–Tensor tympani (inner ear)

•Exit skull via three foramina: SRO
–V1: Superior orbital fissure;
–V2: Foramen Rotundum
–V3: Foramen Ovale

  • V3-Mandibular division
32
Q

Foraminae through which branches of the trigeminal nerve exit skull

A

–V1: Superior orbital fissure;
–V2: Foramen Rotundum
–V3: Foramen Ovale

33
Q

Path of the motor division of the trigeminal nerve

A

Travels on inferior part of sensory fibres.

Innervates muscles of mastication.

34
Q

Example of a test of pontine function

A

35
Q

Corneal blink reflex
1

3

A
  • Sensory inputs to brainstem are mediated via CNV1.
  • Motor outputs to eyelid (Orbicularis oculi) are mediated by CNVII.
  • Used as a test of pontine function
36
Q

CNVII nerve type

A

Brachial motor.
Visceral efferent (parasympathetic, to the lacrymal gland)
Visceral sensory (taste)
Somatic sensory

37
Q

CNVII roles
1
2

A
  1. Motor (facial nerve proper)
    –Innervates the muscles of facial expression.
    –Stapedius muscle (ear)
    •Remember “Trigeminal for Tensor tympani and Seventh for Stapedius “
    –Part of digastric muscle

2) Sensory
–Parasympathetic
•Lacrimal & sublingual and submandibular salivary glands
–Taste:
•from anterior 2/3rds of tongue and soft palate
–Sensation
•from a small region near the external auditory meatus.

38
Q

Role of stapedius muscle

A

Contracts to dampen loud sounds.

39
Q

Role of tensor tympani

A

Eliminates sound of chewing

40
Q

A 
Facial nerve proper (motor)
Nervus intermedius (parasympathetic, taste, sensation)
41
Q

*Course of the facial nerve

A

FACIALNERVE

42
Q

A

Parotid gland

43
Q

Common cause of acquired hearing loss, progressing to balance problems.

A

1) Receives general sensory fibres (ventral trigeminothalamic tract) from the tonsils, the pharynx, the middle ear, and the posterior 1/3 of the tongue.
2) Receives special sensory fibres (taste) from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue.
3) Receives visceral sensory fibres from the carotid bodies, carotid sinus.
4) Supplies parasympathetic fibres to the parotid gland.
5) It supplies motor fibres to stylopharyngeus muscle, the only motor component of this cranial nerve.

Q

Where does CNIX exit the skull?

A

Through the jugular foramen

49

52
Q

Parasympathetic innervation of CNX
