Q

Describe the nerve pathway of the Sympathetic innervation of the palate.

A

Ganglionic chain -> Sup. Cervical ganglion -> deep petrosal nerve joins greater petrosal to form nerves of pterygoid canal -> pass through pterygopalatine fossa and pterygopalatine ganglion -> jump onto greater and lesser palatine and nasopalatine nerves to get to the palate

A

CN VII - Facial

Pre-Ganglionic - Sup. Salivatory Nucleus
Post-Ganglionic - Pterygopalatine ganglion
