Cranial nerve V Trigeminal nerve Flashcards
First Initial: Special v. General
Special: Function only found in a cranial nerve
General: Function can be found in cranial or spinal nerve
Second Initial: visceral v Somatic
Visceral: target part of visceral system or a structure derived from specialized embryonic precursors called pharyngeal arches
Somatic: voluntary motor conrtrol, skeletal/striated muscle, also includes somatic sensory fibers
Third initial: Afferent v efferent
afferent brings sensory info to CNS efferent brings motor info away from CNS
Types of Afferent fibers
General Somatic Affternts, General Visceral Afferents, Special afferents
General somatic afferents
Convey sensations from skin muscles and joints (touch pressure heat cold)
General visceral afferent
convey senses from internal organs
Special Afferents
special sense of vision hearing balance taste smell
Types of efferent fibers
General Somatic Efferents, Special Visceral Efferent, General Visceral Efferent
General Somatic Efferent
Innervate striated muscle not derived from embryonic pharyngeal arches (like extraocular eye muscles, tongue)
Special Visceral Efferent
Innervate striated muscle with embryological origin from phayngeal arches (facial expression, mastication)
General Visceral Efferent
Autonomic fibers that innervate smooth muscle and glands
Which nuclei of trigenimal nerve V are General Somatic afferents?
Mesencephalic nucleus, Main/principal/chief sensory nucleus V, and Spinal trigeminal nucleus
Which nucleus of trigeminal nerve is a Special Visceral efferent?
Motor nucleus V
Semilunar ganglion, Gasserian ganglion
same as Trigeminal ganglion
V1
opthalmic neve
V2
Maxillary Nerve
V3
mandibular nerve
Spinal Trigeminal nucleus
receives pain temp and crude touch sensations from face
Main sensory nucleus
receives light touch and pressure info from face, and proprioceptive info
Motor nucleus V
SVE projects axons to muscles of mastication
