Label what nerves go through each foramina

- Olfactory- cribiform plate
- Optic- optic canal
- Oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal-1, abducens- inferior orbital fissure
- Trigeminal-2- rotundum
- Trigeminal-3- ovale
- Facial, vestibulocochlear- interal auditory meatus
- Glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory- jugular foramen
- hypoglossal- hypoglossal canal
What passes through foramen spinosum?
middle meningeal artery
What are the 4 bones that make up the pterion?
frontal, parietal, sphenoid, temporal
What is the olfactory story?
Originates from the forebrain
Passes through anterior fossa
Exits cribiform plate
Innervates nasal cavity
SMELL
What is the optic story?
Originates in the forebrain
Crosses at optic chiasm
Exits the optic canal
Innervates the retina
SIGHT
What is the occulomotor story?
Originates from the midbrain
Exits through the superior orbital fissure
Branches into superior and inferior branches
Innervates superiorly- superior rectus & levator palpabrae superioris
Innervates inferiorly- inferior oblique, inferior rectus, & medial rectus
Carries PARAs to ciliary ganglion then jumps on short ciliary nerves to ciliary muscles for pupil CONSTRICTION
EYE MOVEMENT & EYE LID CLOSURE
What is the trochlear story?
Originates in midbrain
Exits through the superior orbital fissure
Innervates the superior oblique muscle
DOWN AND MEDIAL EYE MOVEMENT
What is the trigeminal 1 story?
Originates in the pons
Exits the superior orbital fissure
Branches into lacrimal, frontal (supratrochlear & supraorbital), & nasociliary branches
Innervates- lacrimal area sensation
Innervates- supratrochlear (middle forehead and orbit) & supraorbital (lateral forhead and orbit)
Innervates- Nasociliary (eye ball and nasal mucosa)
CARRIES PARAs from CN III via the nasociliary nerve & SENSORY
What is the trigeminal 2 story?
Originates in the pons
Exits through foramen rotundum into PTP fossa
Branches into zygomatic, infra orbital, nasopalatine, pharyngeal, lesser palatine, and greater palatine
PTP GANGLIA
Zygomatic innervation- zygomatic area and carries PARAS to lacrimal gland (tears)
Infraorbital innervation- skin on cheek, upper lips, lateral nose
Nasopalatine & Pharyngeal innervation- carries PARAs to nasal/pharyngeal mucosa from CN
