Editing Trigeminal nerve (section)

=== Trigeminal ganglion ===
The three major branches of the trigeminal nerve—the [[ophthalmic nerve]] (V<sub>1</sub>), the [[maxillary nerve]] (V<sub>2</sub>) and the [[mandibular nerve]] (V<sub>3</sub>)—converge on the [[trigeminal ganglion]] (also called the semilunar ganglion or gasserian ganglion), located within [[Meckel's cave]] and containing the cell bodies of incoming sensory-nerve fibers. The trigeminal ganglion is analogous to the [[dorsal root]] ganglia of the spinal cord, which contain the cell bodies of incoming sensory fibers from the rest of the body.[[File:Gray784.png|thumb|alt=Drawing of the head, with areas served by specific nerves color-coded|[[Dermatome (anatomy)|Dermatome]] distribution of the trigeminal nerve]]
