Can someone please tell me how V1 and V2 is formed?

I understand V3 is formed in 1st brachial arch. But I cant seem to find anything about how V1 and V2 formed in embryological life

Members don't see this ad.
 
I mean, it comes from the same ganglion so, I'd assume it's, partially at least, hopefully fully, the 1st arch. The trigeminal nerve branches. Doesn't mean they come from different locations. It's like a tree w/ branches. Wherever the tree trunk came from, never mind the branches, there ya go.

Just dropping in to say that I hate embryology. :happy:

EDIT for laughs: my professor is always like "in the clinic when you see a finding, you can remember that other associated findings are related due to the fact that they are derived from pharyngeal arch yadda yadda yadda...."

Depending on your specialty, or surgical subspecialty in my case, head/neck embryology can actually be super helpful from a surgical anatomy standpoint. Also shows up on in-service/boards. Some of us never escape this stuff.
