I need to figure out the cranial nerve and site of ganglion in the brain as follows!?

I don't know if this helps but here is a link to a quiz on cranial nerves\n\nhttp://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/cn/cranial.htm

Make sure you spend time in the dissection lab tih the cadavers (assuming you're school still dissects).  Ask the anatomy faculty if they have any graduate students willing to tutor.  We had some who did it for 5 or 10 dollars per hour, and if you do it just once or twice a week every week it will be WELL worth your money.  We would meet with a group of 3 or 4 students, plus the tutor, and go through several cadavers and look at various structures, and he would say "what's this?" then we'd answer and he's say "What's its relationship to______" or he would ask "it lies anterior to ______".  He'd also point to a nerve and ask what is this, what does it innervate, what is the nerve's origin (ie which cranial nerve or spinal nerve, etc), and what are its realtions.\n\nIt was well worth the money!\n\nIf you can't afford this, take a classmate who has a decent understanding up to the lab with you and do the exact samething on your own. -- it's just nice to have the tutor because you spend less time ruffling through manuals and diagrams or looking for particular structures-- whereas the grad students often know what's commonly tested and knows where to look for it.  This technique, if you combine labtime with the quizzing over relations, functions and innervation, will help both your practical and written test score.\n\n\nI assume you are meaning gross anatomy.  As for hisology or microstructure... Couldn't help ya, I struggled with that.  Where are you in med school?

not me, but I know someone who has that same thing and she has found no relief either.  I'm guessing there's some kinda facial nerve damage going on there.  Don't know what to do about that.  I suppose you've already been to neurologists, neurosurgeons, & pain specialists (?) if you've seen that many doctors already.  I wish I knew more.  sorry I wasn't any help.   but I sympathize greatly.

Try this, it just might help you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_nerve\ngood luck.

Don't worry. you can buy a physiology book. then buy a dead animal,  then anatomise it. just do it ,  success belong to you.  good luck!

Maybe your are speaking of a ganglion cyst.\n\nYou can research it at http://www.medicinenet.com/ganglion/article.htm.

The sympathetic nerves arise in the brain in the reticular formation, a diffuse set of nuclei (cell bodies in the brain or spinal cord) and send axons (bioelectrical transmission lines) the the lateral horn of the spinal cord.  The reticular formation receives incoming pain signals as well as higher input from the hypothalamus, cortex and elsewhere.  The axons descending to the lateral horn snynape (form chemical connections that communicate with the next neuron by chemicals known as neurotransmitters) with the cell bodies of motor neurons.  These motor neurons send myelinated (myelin is a biological insulator) axons to the ganglia (collections of cell bodies outside the brain and spinal cord) for the sympathetic nervous system.  These ganglia include a long chain that entends from the cervical to the lumbar regions, plus other ganglia in the head and adbominal cavity.  This synapse typically releases the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, which acts on nicotinic type "N" receptors - nicotinic-ganglionic receptors.   Nicotinic "N' receptors are distinguished from nicotinic "M" receptors (the neuromuscular junction) that serve skeletal muscle by differing responsiveness to pharmacological agents.  The post-synaptic (cell that receives the chemical signal) neurons are not mylenated and project to the visceral organs, skin, and blood vessels where they release neurotransmitters (norepinephrine or, in the case of skin, acetylcholine) that act on the effector organs.

Not too sure if you're interested in this type of stuff. http://www.getbodysmart.com\nhttp://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/brain/brshpx.htm\nalso the bbc.uk website has some interactive stuff where you have to match the parts to where they belong.

Ophthalmic Nerve:\n\nSuperior division of trigeminal nerve\n\nSmallest of the 3 branches\n\nWholly sensory; supplies the area of skin derived from embryonic frontonasal prominence\n\nDivides into 3 branches \n\na) Nasociliary\n\nb) Frontal \n\nc) Lacrimal\n\nTakes part in the sensory supply to the skin of the forehead, upper lid & nose.\n\nHopefully that's what you were looking for!

Usually in anatomy a ganglion is nerve tissue, a lump of cells from which nerves originate (trigeminal ganglion, for example). A visible or palpable ganglion is not something you encounter regularly, in contrast with lymph nodes. If you are absolutely certain that it is indeed a nerve ganglion, you should further investigate its causes. Palpable nerve tissue may be seen in familial diseases like von Recklinghausen syndrome (neurofibromatosis) or other diseases like amyloidosis. Depending on location and size it may also be a benign nerve tissue tumor. All of these are very rare and I wouldn't worry about it. \n\nHOWEVER: some doctors use the term ganglion to refer to swollen lymph nodes (as in lymphatic ganglion, see page below). I also think that the term ganglion is used to refer to lymph nodes in other languages, i.e. french. The rough meaning of the word "ganglion" (greek) is "knot" which is appropriate for both nerve tissue (typical usage) and some times for other tissue types. In that sense, ganglion refers to how it looks/feels, not to what it actually is.\n\nFinally, there is another type of ganglion that occurs in joints. As an example, several people, typists, for example, have a wrist ganglion from overuse of the hands. \n\nI do believe that in this case the terms were used interchangeably and your doctor really meant lymph node. Typically, the above posters are correct, ganglion is (usually) nerve tissue and is not a lymph node.
