THE TRIGEMINAL NERVE.

c. The infrairochlear nerve (n. infratrochlearis) (Fig. 1058) runs forward along the innei 

 orbital wall and beneath the superior oblique muscle and its pullej' to the inner end of the pal- 

 pebral fissure, where it terminates. Near the pulley it receives a filament (the supratrochlear) 

 from the frontal nerve. It supplies the skin of the upper ejelid and root of the nose, as well as 

 the conjunctiva and the lachrymal caruncle and sac. 



d. The ifiternal nasal or septal branch (rr. mediales) (Fig. 1048) supplies the mucous mem- 

 brane of the anterior portion of the septum. 



e. The extertial nasal branch (rr. laterales) (Fig. 1047) supplies the front part of the middle 

 and inferior turbinate bones and outer wall of the ftasal fossa. 



f. The anterior nasal branch (r. nasalis extremus) passes downward in a groove in 

 the under side of the nasal bone and then between the lower end of the nasal bone and the

Variations. — The nasal nerve may send branches to the superior and internal recti and 

 levator palpebras superioris muscles. In one case a small ganglion connected with the nasal 

 nerve sent fibres to the third and sixth nerves. Instances are recorded of absence of the 

 infratrochlear branch, the deficiency being supplied by the supratrochlear. Branches to the 

 frontal and ethmoidal sinuses are described as being given off in the anterior ethmoidal fora- 

 men, and a branch has been found which passes through the posterior ethmoidal foramen to 

 supply the sphenoidal and posterior ethmoidal sinuses. The latter has been called by Luschka 

 the spheno-ethnwidal and by Krause \h^ posterior ethmoidal branch. 



The Ganglia associated with the Trigeminal Nerve. — Four small ganglia 

 are connected with the extracranial portion of the fifth nerve. They are the ciliary, the 

 spheno-palatine, the otic and the submaxillary. The ciliary ganglion is associated
