Does anatomy get on your nerves? Don't worry – with Corpus, the intelligent anatomy app for university and clinical practice, you'll find your way back faster than you can say facial nerve.
The fibres of the facial nerve nucleus first run medially in a characteristic arc around the abducens nerve nucleus, the so-called internal genu (genu internum). They then meet the fibres of the other nuclear areas, which unite to form the intermediate nerve.
There, the nerve forms the geniculate ganglion, which contains the perikarya of the afferent fibres that then project to the nucleus tractus solitarius. Due to its characteristic course in the temporal bone, an external ‘knee’ is also formed, the geniculum nervi facialis.
Sounds complex? Corpus makes it clear. The app shows you every course, every branch and every ganglion in three dimensions and interactively.
