Cranial nerves 2 Flashcards
what is the nervus intermedius
part of the facial nerve which carries sensory and parasympathetic supply
what is the function of cranial nerve 5 mesencephalic nucleus
proprioception
what is the function of the principle sensory nucleus for cranial nerve 5
discriminitive touch
what is the function of the spinal nucleus of cranial nerve 5
pain and temperature as well as conscious sensation for the viscera supplied by 9 and 10
what is the function of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve
general somatic sensation to the face, head and associated orbital, nasal and oral cavities
V1
opthalmic (sensation)
v2
maxillary (sensation)
v3
manidibular (motor and sensory)
what is the sensory supply of the skin over the angle of the mandible
greater auricular and transverse cervical branch of the cervical plexus not the trigeminal nerve
what is meckels cave
on the apex of the petrous temporal bone where the trigeminal ganglion lies in a cave of dura mater
how does the opthalmic division reach the superior orbital fissure
passes anteriorly on the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus
how does the maxillary division reach the foramen rotundum
passes anteriorly on the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus
if all 3 trigeminal divisions are affected where must the lesion be
pons or skull base
describe the relations of the cavernous sinus
sphenoid sinus (air) internal carotid artery V1 V2 cranial nerve 3 and 4
if the trigeminal divisions are affected in the cavernous sinus what other cranial nerves would you expect to be affected
3 and 4 (occulomotor and trochlear)
describe the course of the opthalmic nerve
passes throught the cavernous sinus, picks up sympathetic fibres from the carotid plexus
what are the divisions of the opthalmic nerve
lacrimal nerve
frontal nerve
nasocilliary nerve
what is the sensory supply to the forehead and upper eyelid
supra trochlea, supra orbital and lacrimal nerves
what is the nerve supply of the tip of the nose
external nasal branch of the anterior ethmoidal branch of the nasocillary branch of the opthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve
