Test 2: Trigeminal Flashcards
Where are the CB?
Trigeminal ganglion: all except proprio
Tigeminal mesencephalic nucleus (ONLY one in CNS): proprioception only
What are the 3 tracts and what modalities?
Trigeminal leminiscal: touch
Trigeminal thalamic: pain and temp
Dorsal trigeminothalamic: dental pressure
Where are the 2CB for the trigeminal leminiscal?
Main nucleus- pons
Where does the trigeminal leminiscal dessucate?
2nd neuron in pons
What tract do the 2neurons travel in trigeminal leminiscal?
trigeminal leminiscal
Where do 2neurons synpase on 3rd in trigem leminiscal?
VPM nucleus in thalamus
Where do the VPM neurons in trigem leminisc synapse in cortex?
Primary somatic sensory cortex (touch and proprioception)
Where do 1neurons travel in Trigeminothalamic tract?
Down spinal trigeminal tract! like lissaures
Where do 1neurons synpase with 2nd/2CB of trigeminothalamic tract?
Spinal trigeminal nucleus- medulla
oral, interpolar, or caudal nuclei
Where do trigeminothalamic 2neurons decussate?
in that level of medulla
What tract do 2neurons travel up to cortex in trigeminothalam?
Trigeminothalamic tract
Where do 2neurons synapse on 3rd in trigeminothalamic?
VPM and VMp and medial dorsal nucleus
Where do 3neurons go in trigeminothalamic?
cinulate gyrus (from med. dors nuc): emotion
SI: from VPM
Insula/S2 (from VPM): affective aspect pain
What is the function of trigeminal (CNV)?
Carry somatosensory info for:
face, scalp, eyes, sinuses, teeth, eardrum, oral cavity, ant 2/3rd tongue
Control muscle of mastication Sensory functions for discriminitive touch of face/dental pressure Jaw proprioception Face pain/temp Innvervates dura mater
What are the 3 parts of CNV?
V1: Opthalamic
- forehead to top of nose
- enters superior orbital fissure
V2: Maxillary
- nose to lips
- enters Rotundum Foramen
V3: Mandibular
- ear laterally to chin
- enters Ovale Foramen
