The three terminal branches of CN V innervate the skin, mucous membranes and sinuses of the face. Their distribution pattern is similar to the dermatome supply of spinal nerves (except there is little overlap in the supply of the divisions). Only the mandibular branch of CN V has motor fibres.
20 gru 2022 · The cranial nerves are a set of 12 paired nerves that arise directly from the brain. The first two nerves (olfactory and optic) arise from the cerebrum, whereas the remaining ten emerge from the brainstem.
9 gru 2022 · The cranial nerves provide afferent and efferent innervation principally to the head and neck structures. Unlike spinal nerves, whose roots are neural fibers from the spinal grey matter, cranial nerves are composed of the neural processes associated with distinct brainstem nuclei and cortical structures.
"cranial nerves are composed of the neural processes associated with distinct brainstem nuclei and cortical structures" [1]; this is different to spinal nerves whose roots are neural fibres from the grey matter of the spinal cord [1]
29 wrz 2015 · A structured summary of the cranial nerves, providing key points regarding each cranial nerve's course, function and clinical relevance.
Your cranial nerves are a set of 12 paired nerves that stem from your brain. They have a wide variety of functions, including helping you see, taste, smell, hear and feel sensations. They also help you make facial expressions, blink your eyes and move your tongue.
