Detailed explanation-1: -The ophthalmic nerve is responsible for sensory innervation of the face and skull above the palpebral fissure and the eye and portions of the nasal cavity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Maxillary division (CN V2) Like the ophthalmic branch, the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve (CN V2) is a purely sensory entity that carries impulses from the midface. It has a middle meningeal branch that detects stimuli from the dura of the middle cranial fossa.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Trigeminal Nerve The ophthalmic nerve splits into the lacrimal, frontal, and nasociliary nerves as it passes to the SOF. The lacrimal nerve is the smallest division of the ophthalmic nerve and innervates the lacrimal gland and lateral region of the upper eyelid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Trigeminal sensory ganglion. The ophthalmic part of the trigeminal nerve supplies sensation to the cornea, ciliary body, lachrymal glands, conjunctiva, nasal mucosa, and the skin of the nose, eyelid, and forehead.
