Lecture 9: Trigeminal Nerve (V) and Facial Nerve (VII) Flashcards
What number is the trigeminal nerve?
V
What is CN V?
Trigeminal Nerve
What is the function of the trigeminal nerve?
Sensory information to the face and motor to the jaw
What is CN VII?
Facial Nerve
What CN is the facial nerve?
CN VII
What is the function of the Trigeminal Nerve V?
Sensory innervation to the face and motor innervation to the jaw
What is the function of the facial nerve?
Motor innervation to the face
What are the three divisions of the Trigeminal Nerve V?
V1 - Ophthalmic
V2 - Maxillary
V3 - Mandibular
Where does the V1- Ophthalmic exit the skull?
The Superior Orbital Fissure
Where does V2 - Maxillary exit the skull?
The Foramen Rotundum
Where does V3 - Mandibular exit the skull?
The Foramen ovale
Where on the brain stem does the trigeminal nerve exit?
The pons
What nerve provides all sensation of the face?
The trigeminal nerve
What does V1 - Ophthalmic branch do?
Supplies sensation to the forehead
What does V3 - Mandibular branch do?
Supplies sensation and motor to the mandible
What does V2 - Maxillary branch innervate?
The cheek and upper teeth area
What are the two main functions of the Trigeminal Nerve (V)?
*Sensation and proprioception and pain/temperature information from the head
*Motor - Controls the muscles of mastication
What kind of nerve is V1 - Opthalamic?
Pure sensory
What kind of nerve is V2 - Maxillary?
Pure sensory
What kind of nerve is V3 - Mandibular?
Motor and Senory
What is the function of V1?
Sensation to the eye and forehead
What is the function of V2?
Sensory to the cheek and upper teeth
What is the function of V3?
Sensation to the mandible and lower teeth
Motor to the muscles of mastication
What is the trigeminal ganglion?
A collection of cell bodies in the PNS that house cell bodies of the trigeminal sensory afferents
