Midterm Flashcards
CNV originates from these 3 sensory nuclei in the midbrain:
mesencephalic, principle sensory, and spinal nuclei
Where do the sensory nuclei merge to form a sensory root?
pons
Where does the sensory root forms the trigeminal or Gasserian ganglion ?
middle cranial fossa, adjacent to the cavernous sinus
Mesencephalic nucleus is in this part of the brainstem:
midbrain
Trigeminal ganglion is in this part of the brainstem:
pons
spinal nucleus is in this part of the brainstem:
medulla
The ophthalmic division exits via:
superior orbital fissure
3 terminal branches of ophthalmic division:
Frontal, Lacrimal, and Nasociliary nerves
What carries postganglionic parasympathetic fibers does CN V carry?
fibers from the pterygopalatine ganglion (via facial nerve) which initially travel with the zygomatic branch of the maxillary division then join the lacrimal branch of the ophthalmic division
CN V innervates:
skin and mucous membrane derivatives of the frontonasal process: Forehead and scalp, Frontal and ethmoid sinuses, Upper eyelid and conjunctiva, Cornea, Dorsum of nose
These nn. supply the back of the head:
cervical
Nerves that supply the ear and neck under mandible:
superficial cervical plexus:
The maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve exits the skull via:
foramen rotundum
The maxillary division gives rise to 14 branches which innervate:
the skin, mucous membranes and sinuses that are derived from the maxillary prominence of the first pharyngeal arch
Does the maxillary division carry para?
Yes, to the lacrimal gland and the nasal glands
7 branches of maxillary division we need to be aware of:
Anterior, Middle and Posterior superior alveolar nerve, Infraorbital nerve, Nasopalatine nerve, Greater and lesser palatine nerves
Mandibular division, sensory or motor?
both
Sensory branches of CNV innervate:
the skin, mucous membranes and striated muscle derivatives of the mandibular prominence of the first pharyngeal arch
4 terminal branches of mandibular division:
Buccal, inf alv (mental nerve/ incisive nerve extension), auriculotemporal, lingual
mandibular division supplies sensory to:
Mucous membranes and floor of the oral cavity, External ear, Lower lip, Chin, Anterior 2/3 of the tongue with special taste sensation from the chorda tympani branch from the facial nerve, All lower teeth, gingiva and bone
Muscles of mastication:
Masseter, Temporalis, Internal/medial pterygoid, External/lateral pterygoid
8 m. pairs innervated by man branch:
mm. of mastication, ant belly of digastric, mylohyoid, tensor veli palatini, tensor tympani
This muscle often caries accessory sensory innervation to mandible:
mylohyoid
Infraorbital block:
Midline thru M2PM including the MB cusp of the Max1M and lip, etc.
