trigeminal ganglion- middle meningeal artery other structures seen in cranial fossa Flashcards
location of trigeminal ganglion
trigeminal impression at the anterior part of petrous temporal bone
related with temporal cave or meckles cave
relations of trigeminal ganglion
medially: internal carotid posterior part of cavernous sinus laterally: middle meningeal artery superiorly: parahippocampus gyrus inferiorly: motor root greater petrosal foramen lacerum apex of petrous temporal bone
divisions of trigeminal
ophtlamic mandibular and maxillary
blood supply of triemincal ganglion
internal carotid
middle meningeal
accessory meningeal
meningeal branch of ascending pharyngeal artery
origin of middle meningeal arter
first branch given off from maxillary artery given off in the infratemporal fossa
mm artery enters the middle cranial fossa through
foramen spinosum
mm artery grooving what bone and gives off what branches
grooves the squamous temporal bone and gives off parietal and frontal branch
branches of mm artery given off in cranial cavity
Go- ganglionic branch to trigeminal ganglion
Play- petrosal branch to greater petrosal nerve
Tennis- temporal branch to temporal fossa
And- anastomosing branch that anastomose with lacrimal artery
Squash- superior tympanic branch to tensor tympani
cranial nerves
- olfactory- 15-20 fibers that pierce the cribriform plate of ethmoid
- optic- goess off from the optic canal with the ophthalmic artery
4 and 5. oculomotor and trochlear- posterior end of the roof of cavernous sinus the run on the lateral side of cavernous sinus and enter the orbit through superior orbital fissure - trigeminal sensory and motor root pierce through the apex of temporal bone and enter the middle cranial fossa
- abducent pierces the posterior wall of cevernous sinus runs at the lateral side of dosrum sellar beneath the petrousphenoidal ligament and enter the cranial fossa
7 and 8. facial and vestibulocochlear internal acousting meatus with labyrinthine vessels
9.10.11. glossopharyngeal vagus and accessory pierce the dura mater and goes off from foramen magnum - hypoglossal pierce the dura matter separately pass through hypoglossal canal
accessory nerve spinal and cranial part exit
spinal part enters the posterior cranial fossa through foramen magnum and then leaves off from jugular foramen with the cranial part
internal carotid artery and its parts
its the branch given off from the common carotid artery cervical part petrous part cavernous part cerebral part
cervical and petrous part
cervical: in the neck lies in the carotid sheath
petrous part: within the carotid canal in the petrous temporal bone gives of caroticotympanic baranch and artery of pterygoid canal
cavernous part
in the cavernous sinus it gives off branches
- cavernous branch to the trigeminal ganglion
- inferior and supri hypophyseal branches to the hypophyseal cerebri
cerebral part of interna carotid artery
base of the brain gives off
- ophthalmic
- middle cerebral
- anterior cerebral
- posterior communicationg
- anterior choroidal
greater petrosal nerve
carries taste and parasympathetic fibers arsises from the geniculate ganglion of facial nerve and enters the middle cranial fossa through tha hiatus for greater petrosal nerve at the anterior part of petrous bone
goes into foramen lacerum and joins with deep petrosal to form the nerve of the pterygoid canal
