28
Q

blockage of CN VI causes what

A

lateral rectus m. cannot activate which should be abducting the eye so the result is double vision

29
Q

result of cavernous thrombosis

A

double vision

30
Q

When you lean forward venous blood moves forwards, why?

A

They are all valveless

31
Q

pterygoid venous plexus

A

must be aware of when doing post. dental work

32
Q

only branch of trigeminal that does not pass through the cavernous sinus

A

V3

33
Q

Runs through the center of cavernous sinus

A

CN VI-Abducens

34
Q

Second symptom of cavernous thrombosis

A

CN III is hit which paralyses the eye and disables elevation of eyelid

35
Q

Third symptom of cavernous thrombosis

A

Painful stabbing pains of forehead from V1 and V2

36
Q

innervates lateral rectus m.

A

CN VI-abducens

37
Q

The smallest division of CNV

A

V1

38
Q

sensory info of the dura mater

A

V1

39
Q

dehydration will most affect

A

V1-meningeal branches, also V2 and V3 meningeal branches

40
Q

innervates cornea

A

V1 also

41
Q

4 major branches of V1 (do not worry about too much)

A

meningeal, lacrimal, frontal (supraorbital and supratrochlear), and nasociliary

42
Q

Lacrimal n.

A

branch of V1; fibers go to lacrimal gland

43
Q

sensory to and around the eye

A

V1

44
Q

Pathway of V2

A

Out foramen ovale as infraorbital n. and then out the infraorbital foramen and then branches as alveolar n.

45
Q

Brings sensory from upper lip and cheek

A

V2

46
Q

branches of V2

A

Meningeal, zygomatic, post. sup. alveolar, infraorbital, greater palatine, lesser palatine, post. lateral nasal, nasopalatine, pharyngeal

47
Q

V2 connects which two spaces

A

The middle cranial fossa and the pterygopalatine fossa

48
Q

V3 connects what two spaces

A

middle cranial fossa to the infratemporal fossa

49
Q

V1 connects what two spaces

A

middle cranial fossa to the orbit

50
Q

Autonomic system is a ____ system

A

Two

51
Q

Things to consider for autonomic nerves

A

Start-relay through which ganglion-and target what

52
Q

How all parasympathetic nerves (except the main ones we know) get to places and where they go

A

Ride on V2 mainly and go to all mucous membranes (everywhere that is wet)

53
Q

pterygopalatine ganglion

A

keeps everything moist and wet; associated with V2

54
Q

sensory from ant nasal

A

V1 (ant ethmoidal n.) which keeps this part of the nose moist

55
Q

burn roof of mouth?

A

Feel from greater and lesser palatine n. mainly from V2; dry mouth could be the result because loose nerve function

56
Q

V3 carries what kind of sensory

A

very small motor and large sensory

57
Q

Supplies sensory to TMJ

A

V3

58
Q

muscles innervated by V3
