Definition
English
:
The 5th and largest cranial nerve. The
trigeminal nerve
is a mixed motor and sensory nerve. The larger sensory part
forms
the ophthalmic, mandibular, and maxillary nerves which carry afferents sensitive to external or internal stimuli from the
skin
,
muscles
, and
joints
of the
face
and
mouth
and from the teeth. Most of these fibers originate from
cells
of the
trigeminal ganglion
and project to the trigeminal nucleus of the
brain stem
. The smaller motor part arises from the
brain stem
trigeminal motor nucleus and innervates the
muscles
of
mastication.
