describe SAN to lacrimal gland

A

pregang cell bodies in T1-T4
fibers in sympathetic chain
postgang cell bodies in superior cervical sympathetic ganglia
fibers via deep petrosal then zygomatic V2 and lacrimal V1
to cause vasomotor, creating more water lacrimal fluid

46
Q

describe PAN to mucouse secreting glands of head

A

pregang cell bodies in salivatory nuc to fibers in VII then greater petrosal which then PPG and postgang fibers run with V2

47
Q

describe SAN to mucous secreting glands of head

A

pregang cell bodies T1-4
postgang cell bodies superior cervical ganglia
fibers via deep petrosal then out with branches of V2

48
Q

What are the general features of the palate

A

consists of hard (ossified) and soft portions
boundary between nasal and oral cavities
superior is covered with respiratory mucosa
inferior covered by typical oral mucosa

49

lesser palatine foramen

52
Q

what runs in incisive foramen

A

nasopalatine n and greater palatine a

53
Q

why is anesthetic painful in hard palate

A

mucosa tightly adhered to bone so anesthesia is usally injected to superior gingiva mucosa
