Trigeminal Nerve (CN V) MADE BY : DANI MAMO

Trigeminal Nerve The trigeminal nerve is a mixed nerve. It possesses a larger component (portio major) consisting of sensory fibers for the face, and a smaller component (portio minor) consisting of motor fibers for the muscles of mastication.

Trigeminal ganglion and brainstem nuclei The trigeminal (gasserian) ganglion is the counterpart of the spinal dorsal root ganglia for the sensory innervation of the face. Like the dorsal root ganglia, it contains pseudounipolar ganglion cells, whose peripheral processes terminate in receptors for touch, pressure, tactile discrimination, pain, and temperature, and whose central processes project to the principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve (for touch and discrimination) and to the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve (for pain and temperature).

The mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminal nerve is a special case, in that its cells correspond to spinal dorsal root ganglion cells eventhough it is located within the brainstem; it is, in a sense, a peripheral nucleus that has been displaced into the central nervous system. The peripheral processes of neurons in this nucleus receive impulses from peripheral receptors in the muscle spindles in the muscles of mastication, and from other receptors that respond to pressure.

The three nuclei just mentioned extend from the cervical spinal cord all the way to the midbrain. The trigeminal ganglion is located at the base of the skull over the apex of the petrous bone, just lateral to the posterolateral portion of the cavernous sinus. It gives off the three branches of the trigeminal nerve to the different areas of the face, i.e., the ophthalmic nerve (V1), which exits from the skull through the superior orbital fissure; the maxillary nerve (V2), which exits through the foramen rotundum; and the mandibular nerve (V3), which exits through the foramen ovale.

Somatosensory trigeminal fibers The peripheral trajectory of the trigeminal nerve, Its somatosensory portion supplies the skin of the face up to the vertex of the head. the cutaneous territories supplied by each of the three trigeminal branches. The cutaneous distribution of the trigeminal nerve borders the dermatomes of the second and third cervical nerve roots. (The first cervical nerve root, C1, is purely motor and innervates the nuchal muscles that are attached to the skull and the upper cervical vertebrae.)

Furthermore, the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and paranasal sinuses derive their somatosensory innervation from the trigeminal nerve, as do the mandibular and maxillary teeth and most of the dura mater (in the anterior and middle cranial fossae). Around the external ear, however, only the anterior portion of the pinna and the external auditory canal and a part of the tympanic membrane are supplied by the trigeminal nerve. The rest of the external auditory canal derives its somatosensory innervation from the nervus intermedius and the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.

Proprioceptive impulses from the muscles of mastication and the hard palate are transmitted by the mandibular nerve. These impulses are part of a feedback mechanism for the control of bite strength.

All trigeminal somatosensory fibers terminate in the principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve, which is located in the dorsolateral portion of the pons (in a position analogous to that of the posterior column nuclei in the medulla). The axons of the second neurons cross the midline and ascend in the contralateral medial lemniscus to the ventral posteromedial nucleus of the thalamus . The somatosensory fibers of the trigeminal nerve are a component of several important reflex arcs.

Corneal reflex Somatosensory impulses from the mucous membranes of the eye travel in the ophthalmic nerve to the principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve (afferent arm). After a synapse at this site, impulses travel onward to the facial nerve nuclei and then through the facial nerves to the orbicularis oculi muscles on either side (efferent arm). Interruption of this reflex arc in either its afferent component (trigeminal nerve) or its efferent component (facial nerve) abolishes the corneal reflex, in which touching the cornea induces reflex closure of both eyes.

Sneeze and suck reflexes Other somatosensory fibers travel from the nasal mucosa to the trigeminal nuclear area to form the afferent arm of the sneeze reflex. A number of different nerves make up its efferent arm: cranial nerves V, VII, IX, and X, as well as several nerves that are involved in expiration. The suck reflex of infants, inwhich touching of the lips induces sucking, is another reflex with a trigeminal afferent arm and an efferent arm that involves several different nerves.

Pain and temperature fibers of the trigeminal nerve Fibers subserving pain and temperature sensation travel caudally in the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve and terminate in the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve, whose lowest portion extends into the cervical spinal cord. This nucleus is the upper extension of the Lissauer zone and the substantia gelatinosa of the posterior horn, which receive the pain and temperature fibers of the upper cervical segments.

The caudal portion (pars caudalis) of the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve contains an upside-down somatotopic representation of the face and head: the nociceptive fibers of the ophthalmic nerve terminate most caudally, followed from caudal to rostral by those of the maxillary and mandibular nerves The spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve also contains nociceptive fibers from cranial nerves VII (nervus intermedius), IX, and X, which subserve pain and temperature sensation on the external ear, the posterior third of the tongue, and the larynx and pharynx

The midportion (pars interpolaris) and rostral portion (pars rostralis) of the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve probably receive afferent fibers subserving touch and pressure sensation (the functional anatomy in this area is incompletely understood at present). The pars interpolaris has also been reported to receive nociceptive fibers from the pulp of the teeth.

The second neurons that emerge from the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve project their axons across the midline in a broad, fanlike tract. These fibers traverse the pons and midbrain, ascending in close association with the lateral spinothalamic tract toward the thalamus, where they terminate in the ventral posteromedial nucleus. The axons of the thalamic (third) neurons in the trigeminal pathway then ascend in the posterior limb of the internal capsule to the caudal portion of the postcentral gyrus

Motor trigeminal fibers The motor nucleus from which the motor fibers (portio minor) of the trigeminal nerve arise is located in the lateral portion of the pontine tegmentum, just medial to the principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve. The portio minor exits the skull through the foramen ovale together with the mandibular nerve and innervates the masseter, temporalis, and medial and lateral pterygoid muscles, aswell as the tensor veli palatini, the tensor tympani, the mylohyoid muscle, and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle

The motor nuclei (and, through them, the muscles of mastication) are under the influence of cortical centers that project to them by way of the corticonuclear tract. This supranuclear pathway is mostly crossed, but there is also a substantial ipsilateral projection. This accounts for the fact that a unilateral interruption of the supranuclear trigeminal pathway does not produce any noticeable weakness of the muscles of mastication. The supranuclear pathway originates in neurons of the caudal portion of the precentral gyrus .
