Q

Explain the branching of Trigeminal nerve (CN V)

A

Trigeminal nerve branches into 3 main branches:

  1. Ophthalmic (V1): passes through superior orbital fissure. This branches into 3 main branches
    A) Lacrimal
    B) Frontal- which branches off into –>
    - Supraorbital
    - Supratrochlear
    C) Nasociliary- which branches into –>
    - Long/Short ciliary
    - Infratrochlear
    - Anterior/Posterior Ethmoidal
    - Communicating branch
  2. Maxillary (V2): passes through Foramen ovale. these branch off:
    -Pterygopalatine ganglion
    -Zygomatic
    -Zygomaticotemporal
  3. Mandibular (V3): passes through Foramen rotundum. This branches into:
    - Auriculotemporal
    - Long buccal
    -Lingual
    -Inferior Alveolar
    -Mental
    -Incisive
    -Nerve to Mylohyoid

3. Muscles used

A
  1. push food bolus to pharynx with tongue
  2. Voluntary
  3. Extrinsic tongue mm (Styloglossus, palatoglossus, Hyoglossus, Genioglossus), Intrinsic tongue mm (Superior longitudinal, INferior longitudinal, transverse, Vertical)

Q

Phase 3 of swallowing - Part 1
1. Focus:
2. Voluntary/Involuntary
3. Muscles used

A
  1. Focus: raise pharynx/larynx to meet food, while moving larynx anteriorly to create space for esophagus
  2. Involuntary
  3. Muscles used: Longitudinal mm of pharynx & thyrohyoid (Palatopharyngeus, Salpingopharyngeus, Stylopharyngeus), &
    Suprahyoid mm (raise hyoid) (Stylohyoid, Digastric, Mylohyoid, Geniohyoid)

Q

Phase 3 of swallowing - Part 2
1. Focus:
2. Voluntary/Involuntary
3. Muscles used

A
  1. Focus: protect airway by passive bending of epiglottis over laryngeal inlet combined with approximation of vestibular fold, Pharyngeal wall is brought closer to tongue and soft palate
  2. Involuntary
  3. Muscles used: Laryngeal mm, Superior constrictor

1. Focus:
2. Voluntary/Involuntary
3. Muscles used

A
  1. Focus: “milk” food bolus further down pharynx to enter esophagus
  2. Involuntary
  3. Muscles involved: Middle and inferior constrictor mm. of pharynx

Q

The ________ tilts posteriorly as we swallow, redirects food around laryngeal inlet (always stays open, so always a small risk of inhaling food)
