Efferent Fibers
nerve transmission AWAY from CNS
Afferent Fibers
transmission TOWARDS the CNS
Somatic afferent
CN that carry sensory information associated with skin, skeletal muscle of the head
Enters via orbital fissure
Oculomotor N
Defect causes pupillary dilation, lateroventral strabismus, and ptosis
Oculomotor N
What can be used as a post rabies exam?
large afferent (sensory) ganglion located in the cranial cavity near the round foramen called the semilunar, gascerian, or trigeminal ganglion
Provides most sensory and motor pathways to the reflexes of chewing and innervate large area of skin of the faec

Exists skull via oval notch of the foramen lacerum
mandibular division (v3)
General sensation to rostral 2/3 of tongue
Lingual branch of V3
Sensory to lower teeth
mandibular alveolar n of mandibular division
Sensation to the mucosa of inside cheek
Buccal n of mandibular division, location of food within oral cavity
Motor to muscles that close the jaw
mandibular division of trigeminal
Motor to rostal belly of diagastricus and mylohyoideus
Mandibular V3
Sensation from skin of chin
Mental N of V3
Sensation to temporomandibular jt
Mandibular Division (V3)
If defective it will cause a sign called “dropped jaw”, not able to close mouth, loss of sensation to lower face, and atrophy of temporalis and masseter m
Mandibular Division V3
