Trigeminal Flashcards
Merkel and Ruffini are
slow adapting
Pancinian and Meisner are
rapidly adapting
What are our warming receptors in face
C fibers
What are the cooling receptors in face
A-delta
Where are the cell bodies of face located (touch/proprio)
trigeminal ganglion
What are the peripheral processes of the TG (touch/proprio)?
CN V = trigeminal nerve
Where does the trigeminal N head from the trigeminal ganglion (touch/proprio)
enter brainsteom at ventrolateral pons
Where are the second order neurons for Trigem system located (touch/proprio)
Main sensory nucleus or Chief sensory nucleus V
What is the ascending pathway from second order neurons of Trigem after leaves Cheif sensory nucleus (touch/proprio)
Medial lemniscus or Trigeminal Lemniscus
Destination of the ascending pathway for trigeminal system (touch/proprio)
VPM
Primary afferent cell body location for pain/temp of face
Trigem ganglion
Central processes of Trigem system for pain and temp
Spinal tract
Second order neurons for face (pain/temp)
Spinal nucleus (caudal nucleus)
Ascending pathway for pain/temp on face
Trigeminothalmanic tract
Destination of the ascending pathwaay for pain/temp afferents of face
VPM and others
