Cranial Nerve V - Trigeminal Nerve [Part 2] | Origin, Structure, Pathway & Function

The video tutorial explains the trigeminal nerve, cranial nerve 5, focusing on its sensory components. It details the three divisions: V1 (ophthalmic), V2 (maxillary), and V3 (mandibular), highlighting their sensory regions and branches. The sensory pathway is described, showing how information travels from the face to the brain, involving the trigeminal ganglion, pons, spinal nucleus, and thalamus. The video sets the stage for a subsequent discussion on the motor components of the trigeminal nerve.
