what muscle does the mandibulary n innervate
muscles of mastication
=temporalis, masseter, medial and lateral pterygoids
tensr tympani
true or false: all 3 divisions of the trigeminal n carry all somatosensory modalities
true
what are the two trigeminal n nuclei
sensory trigeminal n (somatic sensory)
motor trigeminal nucleus (brainchian motor)
what are the 3 parts of the sensory trigeminal nucleus
mesencephalic nucleus (midbrain/pons), chief nucleus (pons), spinal nucleus (pons to c3)
the sensory trigeminal nucleus extends from where to where
midbrain to upper cervical spine
where is the mesencephalic nucleus (of sensory trigeminal nucleus) located
midbrain/pons
where is the chief nucleus (of sensory trigeminal nucleus located )
pons
true or false: the chief nucleus carries only branchial motor
false, sensory info
where is the spinal nucleus (of sensory trigeminal nucleus) located
(pons to c3)
spinal trigeminal nucleus receives what type of info
pain and temperature (spinothalamic pathway)
the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal n is continuous with BLANK in the spinal cord
dorsal column (since spinothalamic info is thru dorsal horns)
the spinal trigeminal tract is continuous with what in the spinal cord
dorsolateral tract
what is the function of the spinal trigeminal tract
acts as an elevator to allow information/axons to ascent or descent
what somatosensoation does the spinal nucleus receive
pain and temperate
what somatosensoation does the chief sensory nucleus receive
rfine touch and vibration (DCML)
true or false: the chief nucleus receives rfine touch and vibration (DCML)
true
true or false: the trigeminal tract only carries information from the spinal nucleus
fALSE, from all 3 trigeminal sensory nuclei
what information does the mesenphealic nucleus receive
non concious proprioception
what pathway is the mesencephalic nucleus equivalent to
spinocerebellar pathway
why is the mesephalic nucleus unique
since it contains cell bodies of primary sensory neurons (only knwoncause of primary sensory neurones with cell bodies in CNS)
most primary sensory neuron cell bodies of the trigeminal n are located in the trigeminal ganglion, except what exception
mesencephalic nucleus
contains cell bodies of primary sensory neurons (only knwoncause of primary sensory neurones with cell bodies in CNS)
be able to locate the different sensory and branchial motor nuclei i the brainstem
where is the motor trigeminal nucleus located
in the pons at the level where CN V emerges
why is the motor trigeminal nucleus considered branchial motor
since the muscles of mastication are derived from pharyngeal arches which lead to branchial motor (not somatic)
explain the ascending trigeminal pathway carrying fine touch, vibration and concious proprioceptions
1) primary sensory neuron in trigeminal ganglion
2) synapse with secondary sensory neuron in the chief nucleus of CN V
3) decussation
4) ascends in trigeminal nucleus
5) synapse with tertiary sensory neuron in the VPM of thalamus
6) internal capsule (genu)
7) to primary somatosensory cortex in most lateral area for head and neck
the trigeminal ganglion for fine touch vibration is equivalent to what in the DCML pathway
dorsal root ganglion
the chief nucleus of the CNV is equvileant to what in the DCML
nucleus cuneatus/gracilis
fine touch vibration and concious proprioception of trigemianl ascending pathway ascends as trigeminal leminscus is analogous to what in the DCML
medial lemiscus
what is the equivalent to the medial lemniscus in the trigeminal ascending pathway for fine touch, vibration etc
trigeminal leminscus
where does the synapse happen between secondary and tertiary neurons in the trigeminal ascending pathways
VPM of thalamus
what part of the internal capsule do fibers from the trigeminal ascending pathways
genu
explain the ascending trigeminal pathway carrying pain, temp, crude touch, pressure
1) primary sensory neuron in trigeminal ganglion
2) descend in spinal trigeminal tract
3) synapse with secondary sensory neuron in spinal trigeminal nucleus
4) decussation
5) ascends in trigeminothalamic tract
6) synapse with tertiary sensory neuron in the VPM of thalamus
6) internal capsule (genu)
7) to primary somatosensory cortex in most lateral area for head and neck
the spinal trigeminal tract is equivalent to what in the spinothalamic pathway
posterolateral tract
true or false” the spinal trigeminal nucleus is equivlanr to the anterior horn in the SC
false, the dorsal horn
true or false, there is no UMN control of trigeminal motor pathways
false, there is
explain the pathway of UMN control of corticonuclear fibers for trigeminal patway
1) UMN in primary motor cortex (pre central gyrus facial area)
2) corona radiata
3) internal capsule (genu)
4) cerebral peduncle
5) synapse with LMN bilaterally in motor trigeminal nuclei
=going to muscles of mastication
true or false, in UMN control of trigeminal motor, uMN synapse with LMN unilaterally in motor trigeminal nuclei
false, bilaterally
lesion to an UMN/corticonuclear tract of trigeminal motor pathway, will a unilateral lesion have a little or big effect
little because there is bilateral UMN control
is the jaw jerk reflex mono or poly synaptic reflex
mono (non conious therefore the primary sensory neon is actually located in the brainstem already=no need for interneours0
explain the jaw jerk reflex
1) stimulus = tap chin (stimulate the proprioceptors/muscle spindles in masseter, temporals etc)
2) afferent limb = sensory signals travel via V3 to motor nucleus of CN V via central process (sensory cell bodies in mesenphelaic nucleus of CN V9
3) synapse = in motor nucleus of CN V
4) efferent limb = motor signals travel via V3 to extrafusal fibers of muscles of masticuated
5) response = mandible elevates (close jaw)
explain the afferent limb of the jaw jerk reflex
sensory signals travel via V3 to the motor nucleus of the CN V
(cell bodies in mesenphalic nucleus of CN V)
where dos the synapse happen for the jaw jerk reflex
in motor nucleus of the CN V
true or false, the only branch of the trigeminal n involved in the jaw jerk reflex is the mandibular branch
true
