Trigeminal Nerve Flashcards
T/F. CNV is the largest cranial nerve
T
CNV has afferent and efferent fibers
Afferent = sensory (from semilunar ganglion)
Efferent = motor
Mesencephalic (third root) = proprioception of TMJ
Divisions of CNV (3)
Ophthalmic Nerve
Maxillary Nerve
Mandibular Nerve
Smallest division of CNV
CNV1 (Ophthalmic)
Division of CNV that exits through superior orbital fissure
CNV1 (Ophthalmic)
Purely sensory division of CNV
CNV1 (Ophthalmic) & CNV2 (Maxillary)
Division of CNV that exits through foramen rotundum
CNV2 (Maxillary)
Largest division of CNV
CNV3 (Mandibular)
Mixed nerve division of CNV
CNV3 (Mandibular)
Division of CNV that exits through foramen ovale
CNV3 (Mandibular)
Nerve that branches off before CNV1 exits the superior orbital fissure
Nervous tentorii (innervates dura mater of the brain)
Branches of CN V1 (3)
Lacrimal
Frontal
Nasociliary
Innervation of lacrimal nerve

Terminal branches
Terminal branch of V1
infratrochlear nerve
Innervations of the terminal branch of V1 (LSS)

Nasociliary branches in the orbit (4) (SLAP)
Short ciliary nerves (eyeball) - from long ciliary ganglion
Long ciliary nerve (iris & cornea)
Anterior ethmoid nerve
Posterior ethmoid nerve (ethmoid cells & sphenoid sinus)
Branches of Anterior ethmoid nerve
Internal nasal branches (mucous membrane)
External nasal branches (skin over tip of nose and ala of the nose)
Pathway of V2
exits the skull through the foramen rotundum > pterygopalatine fossa (near pterygopalatine ganglion) > enter inferior orbital fissure > pass through the infraorbital groove > exit through the infraorbital foramen
Branches of V2 (4)
Pterygopalatine
Infraorbital
Terminal branches
Zygomatic
Nerve that branches off of V2 before it exits through foramen rotundum
