Lecture 6- The Trigeminal Nerve Flashcards
What are the two resident nerve fiber types of CN V?
GSA (face)
SVE (muscles of the 1st arch)
What are the acquired fiber types of CN V?
SA (taste)
GVE (parasympathetics to smooth muscle and glands)
What are the 3 subdivisions of the trigeminal nerve and where does each emerge from the skull?
V1-Ophthlamic- Superior Orbital Fissure
V2- Maxillary- Foramen rotundum
V3- Mandibular- Foramen ovale
Where is the trigeminal ganglion located?
Trigeminal impression (Meckel’s Cave)
Which branches of the trigeminal nerve pass through the cavernous sinus?
V1, V2
What are the 4 main branches of the ophthlamic nerve (V1)?
Meningeal (tentorial) nerve
Frontal nerve
Lacrimal nerve
Nasociliary nerve
What are the two branches of the frontal nerve?
supraorbital nerve
supratrochlear nerve
What are the 5 branches of the nasociliary nerve?
sensory root to ciliary ganglion long ciliary nerves posterior ethmoidal nerve anterior ethmoidal nerve infratrochlear nerve
What are the 2 branches of the anterior ethmoidal nerve?
internal and external nasal branches
Which branch of CN V carries sensory information from the tentorium cerebelli?
V1-Ophthlamic- Meningeal branch
What are the three branches of V1 that traverse the superior orbital fissure?
Frontal nerve
Lacrimal nerve
Nasociliary nerve
What is the nasociliary nerve called after it gives of the poterior and anterior ethmoidal nerves?
infratrochlear nerve
How do the anterior and posterior ethmoidal nerves enter into the ethmoidal air cells?
through the anterior and posterior ethmoidal foramina
where do the anterior and posterior ethmoidal nerves branch from?
Nasociliary nerve
Where do the internal and external nasal branches come from?
the anterior ethmoidal nerve which is a branch of the nasociliary nerve which is part of V1
