spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve

spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve
nucleus spinalis nervi trigemini [TA] a column of cells that lies along the medial aspect of the spinal tract, extending from the level of entry of the trigeminal nerve to the second cervical segment of the spinal cord, where it is continuous with the dorsal gray column. The nucleus has several cytoarchitectonic subdivisions and the fibers of the spinal tract end in it. Called also inferior n. of trigeminal nerve, and inferior sensory n. of trigeminal nerve.
