Trigeminal Nerve 2 Flashcards
what is the course of the Mandibular Division of CNV?
CNV3 passes through the foramen ovale & into the infratemporal fossa
where is the foramen ovale located?
base of the greater wing of the sphenoid
what is the lateral boundary of the infratemporal fossa?
ramus of the mandible
what boundary lies medially to the infratemporal fossa?
lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone
what is the anterior boundary of the infratemporal fossa?
posterior aspect of the maxilla
what boundaries lie posteriorly to the infratemporal fossa?
- tympanic plate
- mastoid process
- styloid process
what is the superior boundary of the infratemporal fossa?
infratemporal crest of sphenoid bone
what is the inferior boundary of the infratemporal fossa?
angle of the mandible
what is interesting about the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve, differing it from the other divisions?
it has 3 trunks
what are the main branches of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve?
- auriculotemporal
- buccal
- mental
- lingual
- muscular
what are the different trunks of the mandibular division known as?
- main trunk
- anterior trunk
- posterior trunk
what nerves come from the Main Trunk of the Mandibular Division of CNV? note if they are motor or sensory:
- meningeal branch (sensory)
- branch to tensor tympani (motor)
- branch to tensor veli palatini (motor)
- nerve to medial pterygoid (motor)
where does the sensory meningeal nerve innervate?
dura mater
what nerves arise from the Anterior Trunk of the Mandibular Division of CNV? are they motor or sensory?
- deep temporal nerves (motor)
- nerve to lateral pterygoid (motor)
- masseteric nerve (motor)
- buccal nerve (*sensory)
what nerves arise from the Posterior Trunk of the Mandibular Division of CNV? are they motor or sensory?
- auriculotemporal nerve (sensory)
- lingual nerve (sensory)
- inferior alveolar nerve (MIXED motor & sensory)
what are the areas of distribution of the mandibular division?
- auricle
- temple
- cheek (posteriorly or laterally)
- lower lip
- chin
- floor of mouth & lower teeth
- anterior 2/3 tongue
where does the auriculotemporal nerve innervate? what type of innervation does this nerve supply?
sensory innervation to posterior temple/side of head
where does the buccal nerve innervate? what type of innervation does this nerve supply?
sensory innervation to the lateral posterior area of the cheek & posterior buccal gingivae of molars
