Ophthalmic Nerve
The Ophthalmic Nerve (== Template:IPA ==
The Template:IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is a system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association in the late 19th century as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.
Pronunciation
The pronunciation of the term "IPA" is /aɪ piː eɪ/ in English.
Etymology
The term "IPA" is an acronym for the International Phonetic Alphabet. The International Phonetic Association, founded in 1886, created the IPA to provide a single, universal system for the transcription of spoken language.
Related Terms
- Phonetic notation: A system used to visually represent the sounds of speech. The IPA is one type of phonetic notation.
- Phonetics: The study of the physical sounds of human speech. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds (phonemes), and the processes of their physiological production, auditory reception, and neurophysiological perception.
- Phonology: The study of the way sounds function within a particular language or languages. While phonetics concerns the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a particular language or languages.
- Transcription (linguistics): The systematic representation of spoken language in written form. The source of the words transcribe and transcription, the term means "to write across" in Latin, and it's the process of converting spoken language into written form. In linguistics, this is often done using the IPA.

polski), also known as the V1, is one of the three branches of the Trigeminal Nerve. It is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the upper part of the face to the brain.
Etymology
The term "Ophthalmic" is derived from the Greek word "ophthalmos" which means "eye". The term "nerve" comes from the Latin word "nervus" meaning "sinew, tendon, nerve".
Anatomy
The Ophthalmic Nerve is the smallest of the three divisions of the Trigeminal Nerve. It arises from the Trigeminal Ganglion as a single root, which passes forward along the lateral wall of the Cavernous Sinus, below the Oculomotor Nerve and Trochlear Nerve.
Branches
The Ophthalmic Nerve gives off a number of branches which include the Lacrimal Nerve, Frontal Nerve, and Nasociliary Nerve. These branches provide sensory innervation to structures such as the upper eyelid, forehead, and the nose.
Clinical Significance
Damage to the Ophthalmic Nerve can result in loss of sensation in the areas it supplies. Conditions such as Trigeminal Neuralgia and Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus can affect the Ophthalmic Nerve.
