A
  1. Lesser petrosal n. (preganglionic parasympathetic) is derived from the glossopharyngeal n. and runs to the otic ganglion where it synapses. The postganglionic fibers leaving the otic ganglion will run w/the auriculotemporal n. to supply secretomotor fibors to the parotid gland.

Receives the chorda tympani n. (CN VII, gives it a ride)

78
Q

What does the chorda tympani supply?

A
  • Special visceral afferent (SVA) fibers for taste from ant 2/3 tongue
  • Also carries preganglionic parasympathetics (GVE) which run to the submandibular ganglion (adjacent to the gland)
79
Q

What do postganglionic fibers from the submandibular ganglion innervate?

A

Secretomotor innervation to the submandibular and sublingual glands

80
Q

What does the inferior alveolar n. pass thru and supply?

A
  • Passes through mandibular foramen to enter mandibular canal
  • Sensory innervation to mandibular teeth
  • Continues anteriorly to exit mental foramen and become the mental n.
81

A

Inferior alveolar n. (prior to entering mandible)

82
Q

What does nerve to the mylohyoid innervate?

A

Anterior belly of digastric and mylohyoid mm.

83
Q

In the head, there are no lymph nodes above the _______.
