Nerve branches Flashcards
Great Auricular n. origin
C2/C3
from nerve point in neck
Great auricular n. innervation
- Cutaneous innervation to skin over parotid gland
- Posterior auricle
- Skin from mandible to mastoid process
Lesser occipital n. origin
C2
from nerve point in neck
Lesser occipital n. innervation
- Cutaneous innervation to skin of neck and scalp posteriosuperior to auricle
Transverse cervical n. origin
C2/C3
from nerve point in neck
Transverse cervical n. innervation
Cutaneous innervation to skin over anterior triangle
Supraclavicular nn. origin
C3/C4
from nerve point in neck
Supraclavicular nn. innervation
Cutaneous innervation to skin over neck and shoulder
Important branches of CN V1
- Lacrimal n.
- Short ciliary n.
Short ciliary n.
Innervates ciliary muscles and constrictor pupilae in the eye
Important branches of CN V2
- Zygomatic n.
- Nasociliary n.
- Greater and lesser palatine nn.
- Posterior superior nasal n.
Important branches of CN V3
- Lingual n.
- Auriculotemporal n.
Nerves passing through common tendinous ring @ superior orbital fissure
CN III and CN VI
Branches of facial nerve providing motor innervation to facial mm.
- Temporal
- Zygomatic
- Buccal
- Mandibular
- Cervical
