Pterygopalatine Fossa Flashcards
which nerve components spinal or cranial mix into combined nerves
the spinal combine (cranial always stay separate)
Is the dorsal root sensory or motor nerves
sensory
what comes out of the pterygoid canal
Vidian nerve (CN 7 parasympathetics- greater petrosal nerve and sympathetics- deep petrosal nerve)
what comes out of the optic canal
optic nerve 2 and ophthalmic artery (from internal carotid)
what comes through the superior orbital fissue
ophthalmic nerve V1, CN 3, CN 4, CN 6, and branch of ophthalmic vein
what comes through the inferior orbital fissure
infraorbital nerve V2, inferior ophthalmic vein leading to pterygoid venous plexus
what goes through the infraorbital groove, canal and foramen
infraorbital nerve V2
what goes through the zygomaticofacial foramen
zygomaticaofacial nerve V2
what goes through the lacrimal groove
nasolacrimal duct
what goes through the ethmoid foramen
anterior and posterior ethmoidal nerves
what goes through the supraorbital foramen
supraorbital nerves from frontal nerve V1
where does CN1 olfactory exit the braincase and what is the path through the skull
cribriform plate in ethmoid bone and into the nasal cavity
where does CN2 optic exit the braincase and what is the path through the skull
optic canal of sphenoid and into the orbit
where does CN3 oculomotor exit the braincase and what is the path through the skull
superior orbital fissure of sphenoid and into superior orbit
does CN 3 oculomotor carry sensory or motor and what is its target
motor and eye muscles
where does CN4 trochlear exit the braincase and what is the path through the skull
superior orbital fissure of sphenoid and into superior orbit
where does CN6 Abducens exit the braincase and what is the path through the skull
superior orbital fissure of sphenoid and into superior orbit
where does CN12 Hypoglossal exit the braincase and what is the path through the skull
hypoglossal canal and into tongue
does CN4 trochlear carry sensory or motor and what is its target
motor and superior oblique muscle
does CN6 abducens carry sensory or motor and what is its target
motor and lateral rectus muscle
does CN 12 hypoglossal carry sensory or motor and what is its target
motor and intrinsic tongue muscles
which branch of the trigeminal nerve carries sensory and motor branches
V3- mandibular
what synapses in the trigeminal ganglion
nothing- nerve only pass through here
what is trigeminal neuralgia (TN)
one of most common causes of facial pain, sudden/severe pain, compression of trigeminal nerve root before entry into the pons
where would you inject to numb the lower teeth, lower lip and chin
inferior alveolar nerve (branch of V3)
what goes through the mylohoid groove
V3 branch to mylohyoid nerve
what are the 4 parasympathetic ganglia
ciliary, otic, pterygopalatine, and submandibular
which parasympathetic ganglia are for CN 7
pterygopalatine and submandibular
which parasympathetic ganglia are for CN 3
ciliary ganglion
what nerves do the parasympathetics hitchhike on
trigeminal nerves
