In neuroanatomy, the trigeminal nerve (lit. triplet nerve), also known as the fifth cranial nerve, cranial nerve V, or simply CN V, is a cranial nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing; it is the most complex of the cranial nerves.
Your trigeminal nerve, also known as cranial nerve 5 or CN V, is a large, three-part nerve in your head that sends signals from your brain to parts of your face, and vice versa. You have two trigeminal nerves — one on each side of your face.
8 sie 2024 · The trigeminal nerve, CN V, is the fifth paired cranial nerve. It is also the largest cranial nerve. In this article, we shall look at the anatomical course of the nerve, and the motor, sensory and parasympathetic functions of its terminal branches.
28 gru 2023 · Trigeminal neuralgia (try-JEM-ih-nul nu-RAL-juh) is a condition that causes intense pain similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. It affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries signals from the face to the brain.
20 kwi 2024 · Trigeminal neuralgia is a clinical condition characterized by sharp, electrical, shock-like, paroxysmal lancinating pain within the distribution of one or more trigeminal nerve branches. Most cases are due to trigeminal nerve compression at the root entry zone by the superior cerebellar artery.
21 paź 2024 · The trigeminal nerve is one of a few nerves in the body that has both sensory and motor functions. The right and left trigeminal nerves each provide ipsilateral (same side) motor innervation and receive ipsilateral sensory input.
