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.
25 lip 2023 · Motor: Muscles of mastication, mylohyoid, anterior belly of digastric, tensor tympani muscles. Sensory: Scalp, face, orbit, paranasal sinuses, anterior two-thirds of the tongue. The goal of this article will be to discuss the anatomy, pathway, and distribution of the trigeminal nerve.
20 kwi 2024 · CN V provides most of the face's sensory innervation and the mastication muscles' motor stimulation. [1] The nerve's 3 main branches are the ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (V3) nerves. These branches join at the trigeminal ganglia within the Meckel cave in the middle cranial fossa.
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.
25 wrz 2024 · The trigeminal nerve is the fifth (CN V) cranial nerve and its primary role is relaying sensory information from the face and head, although it does provide motor control to the muscles of mastication via the mandibular division (TA: nervus trigeminus or nervus cranialis V).
1 maj 2023 · The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V; CN V) is a mixed sensory and motor nerve. It supplies the face via three branches of the nerve: from rostral to caudal, the sensory ophthalmic nerve (V1), the sensory maxillary nerve (V2), and the mixed sensory and motor mandibular nerve (V3).
22 lip 2024 · 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.
