Q

What branch of CN5 is largest?

A
  • V3 is largest! Each branch gets larger as the number of myelinated axons increases
  • Reminder: this is represented in homunculus (which depicts the proportions of nerves for bodily regions
  • V1 > V2 > V3

Q

Principal CN5 sensory nucleus pathway

A
  1. 1st neuron cell body in CN5 ganglia
  2. Projects to ipsilateral principle nucleus to synapse on 2nd neuron there
  3. 2nd neuron axon decussates
  4. 2nd ascends as TRIGEMINAL LEMNISCUS to the thalamus
  5. At the thalamus, the 2nd neuron synapses on 3rd
  6. 3rd neuron axon travels to ‘face’ region of primary somatosensory cortex of post-central gyrus (lateral area)

Q

Spinal trigeminal nucleus pathway

A

i. 1st neuron cell body in CN5 ganglia
ii. Projects to ipsilateral spinal nucleus to synapse on 2nd neuron there
1. Sometotopically arranged
iii. 2nd neuron axon decussates
iv. 2nd ascends as TRIGEMINOTHALAMIC TRACT to the thalamus
v. At the thalamus, the 2nd neuron synapses on 3rd
vi. 3rd neuron axon travels to ‘face’ region of primary somatosensory cortex of post-central gyrus (lateral area)

Q

Mesencephalic nucleus of CN5 pathway

A

i. 1st neuron cell body IN THE NUCLEUS ITSELF
1. NOT IN TRIGEMINAL GANGLIA like other tracts
ii. 1st neuron could stop in nucleus
iii. 1st
iv. 2nd neuron axon decussates
v. 2nd ascends as TRIGEMINOTHALAMIC TRACT to the thalamus
vi. At the thalamus, the 2nd neuron synapses on 3rd
vii. 3rd neuron axon travels to ‘face’ region of primary somatosensory cortex of post-central gyrus (lateral area)

Q

Describe motor tracts

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Corticobulbar
    o Motor cortex projection down thru internal capsule
    o Thalamus
    o Down to lower motor units that reside within CN nucli
    CN5 input to muscle
17
Q

Are autonomics carried by CN5?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • BOTH autonomics and special afferents (taste) will be carried by NC5,
  • These fibers are acquired; they are NOT resident fibers
18
Q

Explain pre-synaptic and post synaptic for para and sym

Study These Flashcards
A
  • pre-synaptic para… cell bodies reside in IML and their axons ascend to synapse on superior, middle, and inferior ganglia in neck= 3 7 9 10
  • post-synaptic para… hitch a ride on anything (blood, lymph, nerve -including CN5)
19
Q

Principal CN5 sensory nucleus is sense for

Study These Flashcards
A

a. Fine touch, dental pressure
b. GSA
c. Called trigeminal lemnicus
d. cheif sensory (DCML)

20
Q

Spinal trigeminal nucleus sense for?

Study These Flashcards
A

a. Crude touch, pain, temperature
b. GSA
c. Called trigeminothalamic in face (Like spinothalamic in body)

21
Q

Mesencephalic nucleus of CN5 sense what?

Study These Flashcards
A

Proprioception from muscles of mastication

22
Q

what are pre-synaptic parasym CN?

Study These Flashcards
A

3, 7, 9, 10
3= ciliary
7= pterygopalatine and submandibular
9= otic ganglian

23
Q

V1 and V2 course anterioly thru?

Study These Flashcards
A

cavernous sinud with 3, 4, 6 and internal carotid artery (while V3 dives through foramen ovale)

24
Q

innervation to occular muscles?

25
cavernous sinus thromobsis
* spread of clot, infection into cavernous sinus (affects V1 and V2) * network of veins lonf face/orbit that allow for migration of septic thrombi to cavernous sinus (result in edema, ophthalmoplegia, facial analgesia) * initially unilateral but presents bilateral
26
facial analgesia
only Vi and V2 (V3 dives down and ISN;T in cavernous sinus)
27
V1 aquires? innervates?
autonomics for lacrimal gland | *is only general sense to: dura mater, cornea, mucosa of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses
28
V1 terminal branches over forehead?
supraorbital and supratrochlear
29
branches of V1
NFL is medial to lateral after passing through superior orbital fissue *meningeal branch is off beofre fissure
30
what all passes through superior orbital fissure from V1?
lacrimal n, frontal n, nasociliary n (NFL)
31
herpes zoster ophalmicus
* 1/4 of herpes zoster cases * commonly known as shingles * shown along affect dermatome
32
V2 carries general sensory to?
nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, palate, max teeth, max gums, max face
33
posterior superior alveolar nerve of V2 innervates?
max molars except MB root of 1st molar
34
ALL MAX TEETH INNERVATED BY?
v2
35
most of posterior septum innervated by?
nasopalatine nerve of V2 | V1 is anterior
36
What does V3 carry?
* sense from inferior face, anterior 2/3 of tongue, mand teeth, TMJ, mucosa of oral cavity and anterolateral scalp * motor of mastication, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid, anterior belly and tensor tympani (levator veli palatini= vagus)
37
posterior vs anterior division of V3? exceptions
``` anterior= motor; long buccal exception posterior= sense; mylohyoid is exception ```
