Maxillary And Ophthalmic Nerve Flashcards
What is the innervation of the maxillary and ophthalmic nerves
Trigeminal and facial nerve
Where does the ophthalmic nerve arise from
The trigeminal ganglion
What are the 3 branches that the ophthalmic nerve divides into
Frontal nerve
Lacrimal nerve
Nasociliary nerve
What 2 branches does the frontal ophthalmic nerve divide into
Supra orbital nerve
Supra trochlear nerve
What does the supra orbital nerve supply
Skin of scalp as far as lambdoid suture, pericranium and upper eyelid
What does the supra trochlear nerve supply
Skin of lower part of forehead close to midline, conjunctiva and upper eyelid
Which ophthalmic branch is largest
Frontal nerve
Which ophthalmic branch is smallest
Lacrimal branch
What does the lacrimal branch supply
Lacrimal gland, conjunctiva and upper eyelid
How does the lacrimal branch enter the orbit
Through superior orbital fissure and moves along lateral wall of orbit to end in upper eyelid
What are the 5 branches of the nasociliary nerve
Ramus communicans to ciliary ganglion
Long ciliary nerve
Infratrochlear nerve
Posterior ethmoidal nerve
Anterior ethmoidal nerve
What does the ramus communicans to ciliary ganglion do
Contains sensory fibres from eyeball via short ciliary nerves without interruption through ciliary ganglion
What does the long ciliary nerve do
Distribute to ciliary body, iris and cornea
Made up of sympathetic post ganglionic fibres which innervate dilator pupillae muscles of iris and sensory fibres from cornea
What does the infratrochlear nerve do
Lacrimal sac, conjunctiva, eyelids, upper lateral aspect of nose
What does the posterior ethmoidal nerve do
Supplies ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinuses
