Trigeminal Nerve (V3) Anatomy

The trigeminal nerve (V3), also known as the mandibular nerve, has an anterior trunk (mainly motor) and a posterior trunk (sensory). It supplies taste sensory innervation to the anterior part of the dorsum of the tongue via fibers of CN7. Before dividing into two terminal trunks, there are two lateral branches:

  • Meningeal branch: Sensory, supplies the dura mater of the middle cranial fossa.
  • Medial pterygoid muscle nerve: Motor nerve, supplies the medial pterygoid muscle from the deep side. It also innervates the tensor veli palatini and tensor tympani muscles.

Anterior Trunk Branches

  • Buccal nerve: Sensory, supplies the skin of the cheek, mucosa of the posterior and inferior portion of the vestibule, and the buccal side

Classified in Biology

Written on in English with a size of 3.71 KB

Trigeminal Nerve

The trigeminal nerve controls masticatory muscles. Its sensory fibers receive sensitivity from the face, orbit, nasal cavity, and oral cavity. The trigeminal ganglion (semilunar ganglion/gasserian ganglion) is located anterosuperior to the petrous portion of the temporal bone.

V1 (Ophthalmic Nerve)

V1 is sensory and supplies the front region of the nose, upper eyelid, mucous membranes of the frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid sinuses, the upper part of the nasal cavity, and the eyeball. V1 has three terminal branches: nasal, frontal, and lacrimal.

Nasal Nerve

  • Collateral branches: long ciliary nerve (supplies the eyeball), posterior ethmoidal nerve (supplies the sphenoid sinus, ethmoid cells, and upper portion of the nasal cavity).
  • Terminal

Cranial Nerves: Origins, Functions, and Innervation

Classified in Biology

Written on in English with a size of 4.1 KB

Real and Apparent Origins

Cranial nerves have a real origin, which is the nucleus of gray substance inside the brain, except for cranial nerves I, II, and VIII, whose real origin is outside the brain. The apparent origin is the attachment surface of the brainstem.

Specific Cranial Nerves

Olfactory Nerve (CN I)

Origin: Roof of the nasal cavity.

Optic Nerve (CN II)

Origin: Ganglionic cells of the retina.

Oculomotor Nerve (CN III)

Origin: Sulcus on the medial side of the cerebral peduncle.

  • Superior division: Supplies the superior rectus and levator palpebrae superioris.
  • Inferior division: Supplies the medial rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique muscle.
  • Function: Parasympathetic innervation, constricts the pupil via the ciliary ganglion.

Gulliver's Travels: A Satirical Exploration of Humanity

3rd Voyage: The Floating Island of Laputa

The King's Unique Policy

Even though the Laputians excel only in music and mathematics, they still desire world domination. This exemplifies human nature, as the King employs a peculiar tactic: if neighboring islands disobey, he hovers Laputa above them, blocking sunlight and rain while dropping stones until they submit.

Lost in Thought

Laputians are so engrossed in their internal world of deep thought that they require constant reminders of their actions. This serves as a metaphor for individuals consumed by their own thoughts, oblivious to the external world, and convinced of their own righteousness.

4th Voyage: The Land of the Houyhnhnms

Symbolism and Satire in Gulliver's Travels

Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels is a masterpiece of satire, where nearly every element acts as a symbol, criticizing contemporary philosophies and customs of English society. Let's explore the allegories, metaphors, and satire Swift employs through Gulliver's various voyages.

Voyage 1: Lilliput

Gulliver's first voyage to Lilliput is rife with symbolism:

  • High Heels and Low Heels: The political parties of England, specifically the Tories (conservatives) and Whigs (liberals), are represented by the Lilliputians' footwear
