Opthalmic: sensory
Maxillary: sensory
Mandibular: sensory and motor
Trigeminal motor nucleus located in
Dorsal pons
Mesencephalic nucleus
Fiber myelination
Homologue of
Function

Homologue of anterolateral system
Pain, crude touch, temperature
Trigeminal main/principal sensory nucleus location
midpons
CN V Sensory afferent serves (3)
Face
Oral cavity
Meninges
V main sensory nucleus ascending crossed pathway joins
Joins medial lemniscus
V main sensory nucleus ascending uncrossed comes from _____ and goes to _____
Comes from mouth and goes to Ventral Posteromedial nucleus
Spinal trigeminal afferents ascend/descend spinal trigeminal tract and synapse in_____
descend
synapse in caudal spinal nucleus
Second order spinal trigeminal afferents pathway
cross midline
Ascend and join spinothalamic tract
Second order spinal trigeminal afferents terminate in
VPM
Trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus located in
midbrain
Onion peel
Pars caudalis
Pars caudalis
Primarily what type of fibers
pain fibers
Pars Caudalis organization
Onion peel
Rostral: oral
Caudal: peripheral face
Pars caudalis receives afferents from these cranial nerves
VII
IX
X
Substantia gelatinosa of pars Caudalis
contains these neurons
excitatory and inhibitory interneurons
Substantia gelatinosa of pars Caudalis
Receives
Raphe spinal tract fibers (serotonin)
Pars Caudalis somatotopic arrangements Mandibular Opthalmic Maxillary Fibers representing center of face Fibers representing back of face
Mandibular: dorsal Maxillary: in between Opthalmic Ventral end near obex upper cervical cord
The more rostral/caudal the spinal trigeminal tract injury, the larger the area around the mouth that is spared of sensory loss
Caudal
Trigeminal spinal nucleus has _____ projection to _______
contralateral projection to VPM of thalamus (internal capsule…postcentral gyrus parietal lobe (Brodmanns area 312))
