Superior Orbital Fissure | 1. Oculomotor N (CN III). 2. Trochlear N (CN IV). 3. Abducens N (CN VI). **4. Opthalmic division (V1)** |
Foramen Rotundum | Maxillary division (V2) |
Foramen Ovale | Mandibular division (V3) |
Internal Auditory Meatus | 1.Facial N (CN VII) 2.Vestibulocohclear N (CN VIII). |
Jugular Foramen | 1.Glossopharyngeal N (CN IX). 2.Vagus N (CN X). 3.Spinal Accessory N (CN XI) |
Hypoglossal canal | Hypoglossal N (CN XII) |
Branches of the Facial N (CN VII) | From superior innervation to inferior (Scalp to neck). 1.Poserior auricular. 2.Temporal. 3.Zygomatic. 4.Buccal. 5.Marginal Mandibular. 6.Cervical. |
Cutaneous Branches of Opthalmic N (V1) | After entering the superior orbital fissure, it trifricates into: 1.Frontal N (bifricates into supra-orbital and supratrochlear N). 2.Nasociliary N (trifricates into Ant and Post ethmoidal N and infratrochlear N). 3.Lacrimal N (smallest) |
External Nasal N | Terminal branch of the anterior ethmoidal N. It is a cutaneous sensory nerve of external nose. |
Cutaneous Branches of Maxillary N (V2) | 1.Infra-orbital (Produces: Lateral nasal N, Superior labial N, and inferior palpebral N). 2.Zygomaticofacial N (prominence of the cheek). 3.Zygomaticotemporal N (Anterior temporal fossa). **Superior alveolar (Ant, Mid, Post), Palatine (Greater/lesse |
Cutaneous Branches of Mandibular N (V3) | 1.Auriculotemporal N (skin around the auricle and external aud. meatus). 2.Buccal N (Unites with buccal branch - facial N). 3.Mental N (emerges from the mental foramen to innervate the chin and lower lip).Other branches: Inf Alveolar, N to Mylohy, Lingua |
