CN 5 Flashcards
Largest CN?
Trigeminal
CN has a _____ motor portion and ______ sensory
Small, large
V1-ophthalmic- M/S?
Sensory
V2-maxillary-M/S?
Sensory
V3-mandibular-M/S?
Both
CN fibers originate in _____ _____ and descend in _____ ______ to ______ nucleus in the ________
Precentral gyrus
Descend in corticobulbar tract
To motor nucleus
Trigeminal motor nucleus receives projections from where?
Both cerebral hemispheres
Motor root exits _______ ______ and passes beneath _____ _____ and exits skull through _____ _____
Lateral pons
Trigeminal ganglion
Foramen ovale
What does the motor (V-3) pathway supply?
Muscles of mastication (temporalis, masseter, med/lat pterygoid)
Tensor tympani, tensor evil palatine, mylohyoid, anterior belly of digastric
Because trigeminal motor nucleus receives projections from both hemispheres, if there was a lesion on one side, what will the affects be?
Not much affect-redundancy
Function of temporalis
Close jaw
Retract
Internal/medial pterygoid function
Syncs: close and protrude
Unilateral: side to side jaw movement
Masseter
Close and protrude
External/lateral pterygoid
Sync: open and protrude jaw
Unilateral: pulls mandible contralaterally
What does unilateral trigeminal motor weakness cause during opening?
Jaw to deviate toward the side of weakness
If you had a weak right pterygoid what would you find?
Jaw deviates to the right on opening
Inability to move jaw to the left on command
Unilateral weakness of CN5 signifies a lesion potentially where?
- brain stem (dismally)
- trigeminal ganglion
- motor root of CN 5
Will there be weakness with UMN lesion of CN5?
No
Besides muscle weakness, what else might you find with a LMN lesion of CN 5
Atrophy
Fasciculations
Decreased jaw jerk reflex
Atrophy of masseter
Flattening of jowl
Atrophy of temporalis
Hallowing of the temple on ipsilateral Sid
Severe bilateral weakness of muscles of mastication with inability to close mouth suggest
Bilateral corticobulbar lesions
- motor neuron disease (ALS)
- neuromuscular transmission disorder (MG)
- myopathy
CN V1,2,3 converge on trigeminal ganglion aka _____ aka ______ ganglion located in _____ ______
Semilunar
Gasserian
Meckel’s cave
After converging at the trigeminal ganglion, a large sensory root of trigeminal nerve enters brainstem at the _______. Some _____ their branches and terminate on the ____ ______ nucleus and others ______ and terminate in the _____ _____
Pons
Ascend and terminate on main sensory nucleus
Descend and terminate in the spinal nucleus
Fibers with what sensations terminate in the main sensory nucleus
Touch and pressure
Fibers with what sensations pass to the spinal nucleus
Pain and temperature
From the main sensory and spinal nuclei axons ascend in the _____ and _____ ______ ______ to the ____ ____ ___ _____ nucleus
Dorsal and ventral trigeninothalamic tract
Ventral posterior medial (VPM) thalami nucleus
Once ascending to the VPM, fibers project to the _____ cortex in the ____ ___ ____
Sensory
Post central gyrus
What does CN v-1 supply?
Bridge and side of nose upper eyelid forehead scalp to vertex eyeball-superior 1/2 cornea Lacrimal gland Nasal septum Lateral wall of nasal cavity Ethmoid sinus Tentorium cerebelli
What does CN 5-2 supply
Cheek Lateral forehead Side of nose Upper lip Upper teeth/gums Palate Nasopharynx Posterior nasal cavity Meninges of anterior/middle cranial fossa
