trigeminal and facial nerves Flashcards
three branches of trigeminal nerve
v1 ophthalmic
v2 maxillary
v3 mandibular
trigeminal is what type of innervation
motor and sensory
where are the cell bodies of the pseudounipolar sensory neurons of CNV?
trigeminal ganglion in middle cranial fossa
what muscles does CN V innervate?
muscles of mastication
where are the CNV cell bodies of motor neurons?
trigeminal motor nucleus in the pons
where is the trigeminal ganglion located?
meckels cave – between te dura of the middle cranial fossa and the petrous temporal bone
what foramen does each trigeminal branch leave cranial cavity through?
v1 - superior orbital fissure
v2 - foramen rotumdum
v3 - foramen ovale
what region is v1/v2/v3 associated w?
v1 - orbit
v2 - pterygopalatine fossa
v3 - infratemporal fossa
v1
branches
ophthalmic - ALL sensory for upper face/nasal cavity/cornea
NFLnerves
nasociliary –> long ciliary nerves, anterior and posterior ethmoid nerves, and infratrochlear nerve
frontal –> supraorbital (lateral) and supratrochlear (medial)
lacrimal
lacrimal nerve is joined by? why?
postganglionic parasympathetics from v2 for tear production
what branches from v1 enter eyeball?
long ciliary off the nasociliary nerve
what supplies sensory to skin on upper nose?
infratrochlear nerve
v2
maxillary - ALL sensory for middle face/upper teeth/hard and soft palate, sinuses
branches:
2 ganglionic –> greater and lesser palatine, pharyngeal, nasopalatine
zygomatic –> zygomaticotemporal and sygomaticofacial
infraorbital
superior alveolar –> posterior superior, middle superior, and anterior superior alveolar branches
which v2 branches pass through pterygopalatine ganglion withoUT synapsing?
ganglionic branches
what v2 branch is in lateral orbit/branch that ascends? two divisions?
zygomatic nerve
zygomaticotemporal
and zygomaticofacial
cutaneous sensory to cheek, lateral nose, and upper lip?
infraorbital nerve off v2
v2 supply to maxillary sinus and teeth?
posterior, middle, and anterior superior alveolar nerves
posterior superior comes off becore v2 becomes infraorbital nerve
anterior and middle superior come off v2 after it becomes the infraorbital nerve
v2 terminal branch (becomes) is?
infraorbital nerve
why is sinusitis often interpreted as a tooth ache?
because maxillary sinus is innervated by superior alveolar nerves which also innervate the maxillary teeth
