PIX CARD 62

THE TRIGEMINAL NERVE

MODULE 8

On the left side, do the same thing for the sensory components of the trigeminal. Identify structures that lie adjacent to these nuclei and nerve fibers, because they might also be damaged by a lesion in this region - and knowledge of these relationships may be useful in localizing the lesion. Then try provide the information listed below the section. Fill in your answers in the table on the back of the card
