Facial nerve divides into 2 main terminal trunks: _____ and Cervicofacial.

Medial midbrain (Weber) syndrome is caused by occlusion of the _____ branches of the posterior cerebral artery

The _____ is a membrane separating the anterior horns of the left and right lateral ventricles of the brain.

_____ hematoma is due to tearing of bridging veins that lie between the dura and arachnoid

In addition to CNs, the cavernous sinus also contains portions of the _____ artery and sympathetic fibers en route to the orbit
