Q

Which part of the spinal nucleus is concerned with pain and temperature to the face?

A
  • Caudalis
17
Q

How is the caudalis portion of the spinal nucleus arranged somatotopically?

A
  • V1 ventrolateral

- V3 dorsomedial

18
Q

What does the interpolaris provide sensation to?

A

The teeth

19
Q

What does the oralis provide sensation to?

A

Touch from mouth, lip, nose

20
Q

What pain and temperature sensation does CN VII supply through CN V?

A
  • External ear
  • External auditory meatus
  • Outer surface of ear drum
21
Q

What pain and temperature sensation does CN IX supply through CN V?

A
  • Ear
  • Posterior 1/3 of tongue
  • Auditory tube
  • Upper pharynx
22
Q

What pain and temperature sensation does CN X supply through CN V?

A
  • Ear
  • Lower pharynx
  • Upper esophagus
23
Q

What is trigeminal neuroalgia?

A
  • Episodic paroxysmal pain of CN V distribution

- Mild stimuli cause pain ipsi-laterally to lesion

24
Q

Describe the path of the ventral trigeminal thalamic tract.

A
  • GVA from the face descend down to the spinal nucleus

- Projectional tract cells cross over and ascend up to thalamus

25
Q

How do fibers from the muscles of mastication regular jaw jerk reflex?

A
  • Collateral from proprioceptive fibers synapse on the motor nucleus
