Cranial Nerve V: The Trigeminal Nerve – Your Ultimate Guide To Cranial Nerve Examination - Dr Gill
Cranial Nerve V, or the Trigeminal nerve is the next area to be looked at in detail on our ultimate guide to the cranial nerves. The Trigeminal nerve, Cranial nerve V is responsible for the sensation of the face, and power to the wonderfully alliterative muscles of mastication
Over this series of videos, I'll be covering what most people have asked for, additional information on
- The normal function of each cranial nerve
- How / why any special tests are performed
- crucially what is being looked at during each step of the examination.

I'm hoping to have this whole series finished this week - it was previously going to be delivered as a single video, but I think it would be more useful for people to be able to jump in and out to the various nerves they are wanting extra information on
Keep dropping the comments, and I'm really grateful for all the improvements people are suggesting, which is helping this channel to evolve - THANK YOU
NB THERE ARE MEDICAL IMAGES CONTAINED WITHIN THIS VIDEO
*** NB - slight error in here - the glabella tap has the trigeminal nerve is the afferent pathway and the facial is the efferent - controlling or oculars oculi. But remember this is not an often-used test as it has a poor diagnostic sensitivity
