BAMS:5n BAMS:Vn GAID:726 trigeminal v nerve We conclude this section by listing some of the many synapomorphies of craniates, including (...) (5) cranial nerves (...) (reference 1); Phylogenetically, the cranial nerves are thought to have evolved from dorsal and ventral nerves of a few anterior spinal nerves that became incorporated into the braincase. Dorsal and ventral nerves fuse in the trunk but not in the head, and they produce two series: dorsal cranial nerves (V, VII, IX, and X) and ventral cranial nerves (III, IV, VI, and XIII) (reference 2).[well established][VHOG] the ophthalmic usually usually merges with the other two. In some vertebrates, the ophthalmic emerges from the brain separately[Kardong] The trigeminal nerve has 3 branches in mammals - similar branches are present in nonmammalian vertebrates, but in some a separate profundus nerve that corresponds to opthalmic branch in mammls fifth cranial nerve nervus trigeminus MESH:D014276 trigeminus trigeminal nerve [V] BM:VN UBERON:0001645 EMAPA:17576 nerve V FMA:50866 SCTID:362459002 trigeminal V 5n BAMS:nV BTO:0001072 NCIT:C12806 CN-V MA:0001100 neuronames:549 cranial nerve V BIRNLEX:869 ZFA:0000697 EHDAA2:0002084 MBA:901 nervus trigeminus XAO:0003092 MFMO:0000093 nervus trigeminus [v] Nerve consists of motor and sensory components.
