Unit I Flashcards
motor innervation to the muscles of facial expression is via branches of?
facial nerve C.N. VII
Sensory innervation to the face is via branches of?
Trigeminal nerve (C.N. V)
What are the major branches of trigeminal nerves and where do they distribute?
Ophthalmic Nerve- face and scalp
Maxillary nerve- cheek and the area lateral to the orbit
Mandibular Nerve- chin and temporal region
Ophthalmic nerve subdivides into what branches?
supraorbital supratrochlear external nasal infratrochlear lacrimal
Maxillary nerve subdivides into what branches?
zygomaticotemporal
zygomaticofacial
infraorbital
Mandibular Nerve subdivides into what branches?
auriculotemporal
buccal
mental
What is trigeminal neuralgia (tic doloureaux)?
- a condition characterized by sudden attacks of severe pain occurring in an area of sensory distribution of the trigeminal nerve
- often due to touch
- cause is unknown
- spinal trigeminal nucleus extends down to C4 and is involved with pain reception from the face
Trigeminal Neuralgia (Tic Doloureaux) is most commonly found in? Second most? and Least common area?
most- maxillary division
2nd common- mandibular division
least- ophthalmic division
Sensory innervation of the posterior aspect of the neck and scalp is from?
posterior (dorsal) primary rami of C.N. 2 to 4
Sensory innervation that supplies the occipital region is?
Greater Occipital Nerve (posterior Primary Ramus of C2)
Sensory nerve that supplies the upper part of the back of the neck is called?
Third Occiptal Nerve (posterior Primary Ramus of C3)
Sensory nerve that supplies the lower part of the back of the neck is called?
Posterior primary Ramus of C4
sensory innervation of the anterior and lateral aspect of the neck is from?
Anterior (ventral) primary rami of cervical nerves 2 to 4
What is formed by the anterior primary rami of C1, C2, C3, and C4?
cervical plexus
What cranial nerve supplies sensory innervation to the skin of the upper limb?
C5, C6, C7, and C8
What supplies the lateral part of the occipital region, posterior to the ear?
Lesser Occipital Nerve (C2)
What nerve supplies the angle of the mandible, and the area inferior to the ear and what does it accompany with?
Great Auricular Nerve (C2, C3)
-accompanies with external jugular vein
What supplies the anterior surface of teh neck (throat)
transverse cervical nerve (C2, C3)
