cnV Flashcards
what 4 GSA cranial nerves use the trigeminal sensory nucleus
V, VII, IX, X
what part of the trigeminal sensory nucleus senses proprioception and controls the jaw jerk reflex and force of bite
trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus
what part of the trigeminal sensory nucleus senses 2-point discrimination and pressure
trigeminal chief (pontine, primary, principle) sensory nucleus
what part of the trigeminal sensory nucleus senses pain, temp, light touch
trigeminal spinal (descending) nucleus
describe the basic sensory pathway (frist, second, third order) of cnV
first order - take all sensory info to the trigeminal nucleus and synapse with 2nd order neurons
second order - crosses the opposite side of the brainstem and travel up the brainstem (trigemninal lemniscus) to the ventral posteromedial nucleus and synapse int the thalamus 3rd order neurons
third order - neurons terminate in the primary somatosensory cortex
t/f. the portion of your brain that is affected during an injury relates to the same side of your face.
false. because second order neurons switch sides of the brainstem, the side of the brain that is affected translates to the opposite side of your face
3 divisions of the trigeminal nerve
opthalmic (v1)
maxillary (v2)
mandibular (v3)
which branch of cnV is sensory and motor
mandibular (v3)
general pathway of cnV
anterior pons through the post cranial fossa to the apex of the petrous part of the temporal bone in the mid cranial fossa, trigeminal/semilunar ganglion, 3 branches
where does v1 exit the skull
into the cavernous sinus out of the superior orbital fissure
where does v2 exit the skull
foramen rotundum
where does v3 exit the skull
foramen ovale
GSA of cnV1
sensory to forehead, sclap, eyelids, nose, eye, and mucous memb of nasal cavity and sinuses, starting at the trigem ganglion to the trigem sensory nucleus
innervation of supraorbital n of v1
branch of frontal n that innerates frontal sinus and skin superior to lateral orbit and lateral upper eyelid
innervation of supratrochlear n of v1
frontal sinus and skin superior to medial orbit and medial upper eyelid
innervation of lacrimal n of v1
conjunctiva, lacrimal gland, skin of upper eyelid
also communicates with zygomatic n of v2 and is used as a hitch hiker by cnVII
innervation of posterior ethmoid n of v1
branch of nasociliary n that innervates the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses
innervation of anterior ethmoid n of v1
branch of the nasociliary n that innervates the ethmoid sinus and nasal cavity
branches into the external nasal n.
external nasal n of v1
branch of the anterior ethmoid that innervates the apex of the nose
infratrochlear n of v1
branch of the nasociliary n that innervates the conjunctiva, lacrimal structures and skin of the bridge of the nose and eyelids
long ciliary n of v1
branch of the nasociliary n that innervates the sclera and cornea
short ciliary n of v1
branch of the nasociliary n that innervates the ciliary body and iris
what are the components of the long ciliary nerve
sympathetic neurons from the superior cervical gang and sensory neurons from v1
what are the components of the short ciliary nerve
sympathetic nerurons from the superior cervical gang, sensory neurons from v1, and parasympathetic fibers from cnIII
GSA of cnV2
sensory of mid face, lower eyelid, mucous memb of nose and max sinuses, upper lip, max teeth and palate, starting at trigeminal ganglion to trigeminal sensory nucleus
posterior superior alveolar n of v2
sensory to mmax sinus, buccal gingiva along max molars, max molars
infraorbital n of v2
sensory to buccal givgiva of max central incisor, lat incisor, canines, and premolars; skin to inferior orbit and medial portion of superior lip
5 branches of infraorbital n
middle superior alveolar, anterior superior alveolar, nasal, palpebrael, superior labial
