Q

What branch of CN5 is largest?

A
  • V3 is largest! Each branch gets larger as the number of myelinated axons increases
  • Reminder: this is represented in homunculus (which depicts the proportions of nerves for bodily regions
  • V1 > V2 > V3

Q

Principal CN5 sensory nucleus pathway

A
  1. 1st neuron cell body in CN5 ganglia
  2. Projects to ipsilateral principle nucleus to synapse on 2nd neuron there
  3. 2nd neuron axon decussates
  4. 2nd ascends as TRIGEMINAL LEMNISCUS to the thalamus
  5. At the thalamus, the 2nd neuron synapses on 3rd
  6. 3rd neuron axon travels to ‘face’ region of primary somatosensory cortex of post-central gyrus (lateral area)

Q

Spinal trigeminal nucleus pathway

A

i. 1st neuron cell body in CN5 ganglia
ii. Projects to ipsilateral spinal nucleus to synapse on 2nd neuron there
1. Sometotopically arranged
iii. 2nd neuron axon decussates
iv. 2nd ascends as TRIGEMINOTHALAMIC TRACT to the thalamus
v. At the thalamus, the 2nd neuron synapses on 3rd
vi. 3rd neuron axon travels to ‘face’ region of primary somatosensory cortex of post-central gyrus (lateral area)

Q

Mesencephalic nucleus of CN5 pathway

A

i. 1st neuron cell body IN THE NUCLEUS ITSELF
1. NOT IN TRIGEMINAL GANGLIA like other tracts
ii. 1st neuron could stop in nucleus
iii. 1st
iv. 2nd neuron axon decussates
v. 2nd ascends as TRIGEMINOTHALAMIC TRACT to the thalamus
vi. At the thalamus, the 2nd neuron synapses on 3rd
vii. 3rd neuron axon travels to ‘face’ region of primary somatosensory cortex of post-central gyrus (lateral area)

Q

Describe motor tracts

A
  • Corticobulbar
    o Motor cortex projection down thru internal capsule
    o Thalamus
    o Down to lower motor units that reside within CN nucli
    CN5 input to muscle
17
Q

Are autonomics carried by CN5?

A
  • BOTH autonomics and special afferents (taste) will be carried by NC5,
  • These fibers are acquired; they are NOT resident fibers
18
Q

Explain pre-synaptic and post synaptic for para and sym

A
  • pre-synaptic para… cell bodies reside in IML and their axons ascend to synapse on superior, middle, and inferior ganglia in neck= 3 7 9 10
  • post-synaptic para… hitch a ride on anything (blood, lymph, nerve -including CN5)
19
Q

Principal CN5 sensory nucleus is sense for

A

a. Fine touch, dental pressure
b. GSA
c. Called trigeminal lemnicus
d. cheif sensory (DCML)

20
Q

Spinal trigeminal nucleus sense for?

A

a. Crude touch, pain, temperature
b. GSA
c. Called trigeminothalamic in face (Like spinothalamic in body)

21
Q

Mesencephalic nucleus of CN5 sense what?

A

Proprioception from muscles of mastication

22
Q

what are pre-synaptic parasym CN?

A

3, 7, 9, 10
3= ciliary
7= pterygopalatine and submandibular
9= otic ganglian

23
Q

V1 and V2 course anterioly thru?

A

cavernous sinud with 3, 4, 6 and internal carotid artery (while V3 dives through foramen ovale)

24
Q

innervation to occular muscles?

A

3, 4 and 6

25
Q

cavernous sinus thromobsis

A
  • spread of clot, infection into cavernous sinus (affects V1 and V2)
  • network of veins lonf face/orbit that allow for migration of septic thrombi to cavernous sinus (result in edema, ophthalmoplegia, facial analgesia)
  • initially unilateral but presents bilateral
26
Q

facial analgesia

A

only Vi and V2 (V3 dives down and ISN;T in cavernous sinus)

27
Q

V1 aquires? innervates?

A

autonomics for lacrimal gland

*is only general sense to: dura mater, cornea, mucosa of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses

28
Q

V1 terminal branches over forehead?

A

supraorbital and supratrochlear

29
Q

branches of V1

*meningeal branch is off beofre fissure

30
Q

what all passes through superior orbital fissure from V1?

A

lacrimal n, frontal n, nasociliary n (NFL)
