Module 5 cranial nerves Flashcards
also convey pain information from their areas to the spinal trigeminal nucleus
CNs VII, IX and X
Located in the medulla •Receives information about deep/crude touch, pain and temperature from the ipsilateral face
Spinal trigeminal nucleus
A group of second order neurons which have cell bodies in the caudal pons
Principal sensory nucleus
Principal sensory nucleus Receives information about discriminative sensation and light touch of the face as well as conscious propioception of the jaw via?
1st order neuron
Most of the sensory information crosses the midline and travels to the __________________ nucleus of the thalamus via the ventral ___________________ (principal nucleus)
Contralateral ventral posteriomedial ( VPM); ventral trigeminothalamic tract
Information from the oral cavity travels to the ________________ nucleus of the thalamus via the ____________ (principal nucleus)
Ipsilateral ventral posteriomedial; dorsal trigeminothalamic tract
Involved with propioception of the face, that is, the feeling of position of the muscles
