Sensory Innervation Flashcards
what is the maxillary nerve formed by
infraorbital + zygomatic nerves, as well as nerves from the roof of the mouth, upper teeth and gums, mucous membranes of cheek–> through foramen rotundum
what does the posterior ethmoid nerve supply
- posterior ethmoid sinus
- sphenoid sinus
- frontoethmoid suture (to get into the orbit)
what is the trigeminal nerve pathway
- ophthalmic + maxillary divisions run in the lateral wall of the cav sin
- the mandibular division travels just below the cav sin
- all three divisons enter the trigeminal ganglion
- fibers enter the lateral pons as the sensory and motor roots of the trigeminal nerve
- form ascending and descending tracts which terminate in the sensory nuclei of the trigeminal nerve
how does frontal nerve exit
through the sof above the ctr
where does the lacrimal nerve leave the orbit
through the sof and above the ctr
referred pain
tooth ache –> pain in the eye
-pain can spread + refer to other branches
(infraorbital)
short ciliary nerve pathway
- travel in the suprachoroid to the posterior globe
- exit the sclera with the psoterior ciliary arteries as 6-10 nerves in a ring around the optic nerve
- pass through the ciliary ganglion (parasymp) as the sensory root of the ciliary ganglion
- the sensory root of the ciliary ganglion joins the nasociliary nerve
herpes zoster
- virus hibernates in sensory nerves
- can affect side of face (unilateral)
- hutchinson sign
what does the nasociliary nerve supply
supplies globe itself
what is the pathway for the long ciliary nerves
- fibers from the cornea come together in the area of the cb to form 2 long ciliary nerves, one on the lateral and one on the medial side of the globe
- travel in the suprachoroidal space to the back of the eye (9clock + 3clock)
- leaves the globe 3mm on either side of the optic nerve
- joins the nasociliary nerve
supraorbital nerve innervates
forehead + upper eyelids (centrally)
what does the long ciliary nerves innervate
- always 2 sensory + sympathetic to the dilator
- anterior segment of the globe= anterior sclera, cornea, iris, ciliary body (tm)
mesencephalic nucleus
proprioception of EOM + face muscles
midbrain
principle sensory nucleus
ascending gibers
- touch + pressure in the pons
where does the nasociliary nerve exit the orbit
through within the ctr and sof
- all 5 join
- all 5 leave orbit as nasociliary
- only branch of ophthalmic that goes thru ctr
