Thus a small animal can lift many more times its own body weight than a large animal, because as the size of an animal increases, its muscle strength increases by length2, but its body weight increases by length3.
Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia. The main symptom of trigeminal neuralgia is sudden attacks of severe, sharp and shooting facial pain that last from a few seconds to about two minutes. The pain is often described as an excruciating sensation, similar to an electric shock. The attacks can be so severe that you are unable to do anything during them, and the pain can sometimes bring you to your knees. Trigeminal neuralgia usually only affects one side of your face. In rare cases it can affect both sides, although not at the same time.
In this chapter, the functions of the trigeminal (CN V) and facial (CN VII) nerves will be discussed. Symptoms of damage to the trigeminal system are mainly loss of sensation in the face, although the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve also controls jaw motion.he trigeminal nerve does not follow artificial lines on the head (hairline, jawline), and there is no lesion that will abolish the ability of the patient to detect a vibrating tuning fork placed on a bony prominence of the skull.
