travers 3 trigeminal Flashcards
mandibular division is ____ and ____ the other two are just _____
sensory and motor, other two are just sensory
CNS 3 parts trigeminal goes to
Midbrain- mesencephalic nucleus
pons- motor and principle, main, or chief sensory nucleus
medulla- spinal trigeminal nucleus- oralis, interpolaris, caudalis (medullary dorsal horn).
where does trigeminal cross?
sensory nucleus and spinal trigeminal nucleus
where does trigeminal end in
VPM of thalamus, then to prital cortex, oral/face structures closer to later side of brain
fastest and biggest fiber
A beta
adaptation vs. receptor abbreviations, what does 1 or 2 stand for and what does R or S stand for
R= fast adaptation no static response S= slow adaptation 1= small sharp borders 2= large, obscure borders
in the hand what kind of endings are superficial 1 or 2?
1
in the hand what are the superficial endings
meissners corpuscle RA1 and merkel disc SA1
meissners corpuscle responsible for what
spatial discrimination
merkel disc responsible for what
pressure
in the hand what kind of endings are deep 1 or 2?
2?
in the hand what are the deep endings
Pacinian corpuscle RA2, ruff ini ending SA2
Pacinian corpuscle resoponsible for what
vibration
Ruffini ending responsible for what?
Skin stretch
which endings are encapsulated?
pacinian and meissners corpuscle
Factors Influencing Mechanoreceptors
- size of fiber and degree of myelination
- location of receptor superficial vs deep
- structure of ending (encapsulated)
- transduction (ENaC’s and TRP)
more sensitivity = higher or lower threshold
lower
von frey hairs do what?
measure touch discrimination. device that measures the tactile sensitivity of the skin
most sensitive part of face?
lips, numbers correspond to discrimination of two points in mm. lower numbers = more sensitive
infraorbital is branch from what
maxillary V2
