The trigeminal nerve is the central axons of psuedounipolar sensory neuron and connects at the _______.
pons
The trigeminal sensory nuclei is where we synapse to get our __________ neuron.
secondary
The central axons carrying pain and temperature signals from face _______ from pons to the _______ and synapse with ____________________ nucleus.

- main sensory
- pons
The central axons carrying proprioception from the jaw synapse with the _________________ nucleus in the _____.
- mesencephalic
- pons
Most sensory pathways of CN5 cross near the level of the _______ nucleus and ascend in ___________ but some remain uncrossed.
- secondary
- trigeminal lemniscus
Sensory information from the trigeminal nerve goes to the ________- of the thalamus.
VPM
Where does the secondary neuron of the trigeminal nerve synapse with the tertiary neuron?
synapses at VPM
Where does the tertiary neuron of the trigeminal nerve go?
inferior postcentral gyrus
What is the motor pathway of CN5?
- right and left precentral gyrus=upper motor neuron
- corticobulbar tract
- crossed and uncrossed, bilateral input to motor nucleus trigeminal nerve=lower motor neuron
- trigeminal nerve
- runs with mandibular nerve to muscles of mastication, mylohyoid, anterior belly digastric, tensor tympani
The upper motor neuron of the trigeminal nerve comes from the _________ homunculus at the precentral gyrus.
lateral
Is the motor pathway of CN5 involved with the corticobulbar or corticospinal tract?
corticobulbar (muscles of face, head, and neck)
The motor neurons of CN5 are both _________ and __________, with bilateral input to motor nucleus of __________ nerve=_______________.
- crossed and uncrossed
- trigeminal
- lower motor neuron
The trigeminal nerve runs with the ________ nerve to what muscles?
- mandibular
- muscles of mastication, mylohyoid, ant belly digastric, tensor tympani
GUSTATION (TASTE)
GUSTATION (TASTE)
Taste results from a ______ interaction between molecules in mouth and membrane ______ receptors on receptor cells in _________=sensory organ
- chemical
- chemo
- taste buds
Taste buds are located in the papillae of what 4 structures?
- tongue
- soft palate
- pharynx
- larynx
Taste buds are composed of what 2 cells?
- gustatory receptor cells (hair cells)
- basal cells
Gustatory receptor cells have long ___________ (gustatory hair) which extends to the surface through the taste _____; dendrites of cranial nerves synapse on gustatory receptor cells, in this case receptor cells ______ neurons.
- microvilli
- pore
- are not
Basal cells are stem cells that develop into gustatory receptor cells and have a life span of ________
10 days
- Receptors in the tip of the tongue are more sensitive to _______.
- Receptors in the posterior tongue are more sensitive to _______.
- Receptors in the lateral tongue are more sensitive to _______.
- sweet
- bitter
- sour and salty
-This is the traditional view, the current view is that taste sensations arise from all regions
Like olfactory stimuli, we decrease our sensitivity to particular taste stimuli, what is this called? How long before we have complete…?
- adaptation
- 1-5m for complete adaptation
What are the 9 parts of the gustatory pathway?
- bite of food is chewed and dissolved into food molecules
- food molecules dissolve in saliva
- food molecules bind receptor on gustatory receptor hair cell
- chemical messenger binds chemical gated channel on dendrite of pseudounipolar taste neuron
- AP generated on peripheral process of pseudounipolar neuron of CN7,9, or 10
- sensory ganglia for taste=primary sensory neuron (CN7=anterior 2/3 tongue; CN9=posterior 1/3 tongue; CN10=base of tongue/pharynx
- central process enter the brain stem and travel in solitary tract
- synapse on secondary neurons in the gustatory portion of solitary nucleus=secondary sensory neuron which projects crossed/uncrossed to tertiary neurons in VPM nucleus of thalamus (taste differentiation) and limbic system (emotional response to taste)
After food is dissolved into food molecules, the food molecules binds to receptors on ______________ cell.
gustatory receptor hair
Gustatory receptor hair cells release _______________ after food molecules bind to them.
-chemical messengers
