91. Function of the trochlear nerve

  1. The trochlear nerve innervates only one muscle, the superior oblique muscle of the eye. (T/F?)
  2. The superior oblique muscle abducts, depresses and externaly rotates the eye. (T/F?)
  3. An injury to the trochlear nerve causes horizontal diplopia. (T/F?)
  4. An injury to the trochlear nucleus will result in symptoms in the eye on the same side. (T/F?)
  5. An injury to the trochlear nerve, after it exits the mesencephalon, will result in symptoms in the eye on the same side. (T/F?)
  6. An eye affected with the trochlear nerve palsy is positioned upwards relative to the unaffected eye. (T/F?)

5. Trigeminal nerve

  1. Is the largest cranial nerve. (T/F?)
  2. Is both motor and sensory nerve. (T/F?)
  3. Has three major branches:  the ophthalmic nerve, the maxillary nerve, and the mandibular nerve. (T/F?)
  4. One of its branches, mandibular nerve  comes close to the internal carotid artery in the cavernous sinus. (T/F?)
  5. Its motor nucleus supplies the muscles of mastication. (T/F)
  6. Maxillary and mandibular nerve have sensory and motor functions. (T/F?)

  1. First two branches of the trigeminal nerve, ophthalmic nerve (V1) and maxillary nerve (V2) pass through the cavernous sinus, while mandibular nerve (V3) does not.
  1. The ophthalmic and maxillary nerves are purely sensory, while the mandibular nerve has sensory and motor functions.
