18
Q

the ophthalmic nerve can be divided into 3 major branches, name these?

A

frontal nerve
nasocilliary nerve
lacrimal nerve

19
Q

nasocilliary branch of the ophthalmic nerve branches into what 3 nerves?

A

long cilliary nerves
infratrochlear nerve
anterior ethmoidal nerve

20
Q

fibres from both the ophthalmic nerve and oculomotor synapse in the cilliary ganglion, which carries sympathetic fibres and which carries parasympathetic fibres?

A

ophthalmic - sympathetic

occulumotor - parasympathetic

21
Q

the frontal nerve division of the ophthalmic nerve branches further into which 2 nerves?

A

supraorbital and supratrochlear

22
Q

the maxillary division of the the trigemnial nerve enters the pterygopalatine fossa through the foramen rotundum and branches into which 5 branches which exit the pterygopalatine fosses via different routes?

A 
greater and lesser palatine nerves 
posterior superior alveolar nerve
infra orbital nerve
nasopaltine nerve
pharyngeal nerve
23

posterior superior alveolar nerve of the maxillary division exits the ptergopalatine fossa via?

A

pterygomandibular fissure

25
Q

infra orbital nerve of the maxillary division exits the ptergopalatine fossa via?

A

inferior orbital fissure

26
Q

nano palatinenerve of the maxillary division exits the ptergopalatine fossa via?

A

28
Q

the mandibular nerve is divided into anterior and posterior trunks, what is the function of the anterior trunk?

A

buccal branch provides sensory innervation to cheek

29
Q

the mandibular nerve is divided into anterior and posterior trunks, what is the function of the posterior trunk?

A

3 main sensory branches - auricolutemporal nerve, inferior alveolar, lingua nerve

31
Q

fibres from the facial nerve travel in the lingual nerve via what?

A

Q

what is the function of fibres from the chorda tympani travelling in the lingual nerve?

A

carry taste from anterior 2/3 tongue and parasympathetic fibres to submandibular glands via synapse at submandibular ganglion

33
Q

fibres from the glossopharyngeal nerve travel in which branch of the mindibualr nerve?

A

auricolutemporal branch

34
Q

the facial nerve exits the cranial cavity via 2 structures, what are these?

A

internal acoustic meatus

stylomastoid foramen

35
Q

what structure is used as an anatomical landmark for tracing the main motor branches of the facial nerve, although has no relationship with this nerve?

A

Q

which virus is known to cause inflammation of the facial nerve and may cause bells palsy?

A

HSV
