Trigeminal Nerve. (CN V)
Functions.
Pathways
Functions:
-Sensory
: skin, face, eye, nasal cavity, teeth and 2/3 of tongue.
-Somatic motor to muscles of mastication.
*All 3 divisions are snesory & only V3 has motor functions.
Pathway through skull:
-V1 through superior orbital fissure (opthalmic branch)
-V2 through foramen rotundum (Maxillary branch)
-***V3 through foramen ovale. (Mandibular branch)
: 3 muscles of mastication.
Major Trigeminal Nerve Branches
Facial Nerve (CN VII)
Functions
Functions:
-Innervates muscles of facial expression.
-Sublingual/sungmandibular glands (2 salivary glands)
-Special sensory
: taste from 2/3 of tongue.
Pathway:
-Into internal auditory meatus & out through stylomastoid foramen.
Vestibulocochlea (VIII)
Functions:
-Balance & hearing
Glossopharyngeal Nerve (CN 9; IX)
Functions: (3)
Pathway:
Functions:
1) Autonomic motor to parotid glands.
2) General sensory
: taste from posterior 1/3 of tongue.
3) Monitor & control gases and pressure
Pathway: jugular foramen
Vagus (CN 10; X)
(vagus means "wander")
Function (2) Somatic motor/Autonomic:
Pathway
1) Somatic motor to muscles : pharynx (swallowing) & larynx (speaking).
2) Autonomoic motor (paryasympathetic) to heart, lungs, GI tract.
*Heart & lungs decrease rate/activity
*GI tract
: increases activity
Pathway: jugular foramen.
Accessory nerv (CN XI)
Functions: (1)
Pathway:
Function: somatic motor to trapezius & stemocleidomastoid muscle.
Pathway: jugular foramen.
Hypoglossal (CN 12; XII)
"glossal" means tongue.
Functions:
Function: somatic motor to muscles of the tongue.
Pathway: Hypoglossal canal
*Palatoglossus: innervated by Vagus Nerve (swallowing, not tongue movement).
