The trochlear nerve is the smallest of the cranial nerves and innervates a single muscle in the orbit, the superior oblique muscle.
The axons of the trochlear nerve originate in the trochlear nucleus located in the tegmentum of the midbrain at the level of the inferior colliculus, and ventro lateral to the periaqueductal gray matter.
Axons arising from the trochlear nucleus course dorsally around the periaqueductal grey matter and cross the midline. The crossed axons emerge from the dorsal aspect of the midbrain just caudal to the inferior colliculus to form cranial nerve IV or the trochlear nerve.
The nerve curves ventrally around the cerebral peduncle to pass between the posterior cerebral and superior cerebellar arteries.
The trochlear nerve enters the lateral wall of cavernous sinus where is situated between oculomotor and ophthalmic nerves.
It leaves the cavernous sinus and enters the orbit through the superior orbital fissure, above
the tendinous ring. The nerve then courses medially, close to the roof of the orbit, and runs diagonally above the levator palpebrae superioris muscle to reach its target, the superior oblique muscle. Here the nerve divides into three or more branches that enter the superior oblique muscle along its proximal third.
The trochlear nerve is unique among the cranial nerves in several respects:
• It is the smallest nerve in terms of the number of axons it contains (approximately 2400 axons).
• It has the greatest intracranial length.
• It is the only cranial nerve that exits from the dorsal aspect of the brainstem.
• It is the only cranial nerve whose nuclear fibres decussate
before emerging on the surface of the brain.
• Its nucleus receives only ipsilateral corticonuclear fibres.

Please consider making videos about neck, thorax, and abdomen. Like lymph nodes group, phrenic nerve, lungs hilum...etc Many thanks for your invaluable efforts

[@AnatomyKnowledge]

I will! Thank you !

[@shailukala]

I want to ask would u like to get an app for all human anatomy diagrams tutorial videos?

Hello, do you have a video on arterial/venous + branches blood supply to the breast? Thank you.

[@adih6483]

Great video! Thanks for uploading, I hope you are doing good in your life. It would be great if you could explain the anatomy of the heart . The ones you did on coronary arteries and cardiac veins are amazing videos. I wish you all the best!

this exactly what I needed my professor talks about nuclei but never tells you where they are located, you explained this very and where its located
