Q

what is the parasympathetic innervation of the submandibular gland and sublingual gland?

A

Same pathway innervates minor salivary glands in the oral mucosa and cavity. 1. Pre-ganglionic neuron: -Superior salivatory nucleus -CN VII exits internal acoustic meatus -Chorda tympani n. of VII exits through petrotympanic fissure. -Hitch-hikes on lingual n. of V3 2, Post-ganglionic neuron -Submandibular ganglion -Continues to hitch-hike on lingual n. of V3

Q

What is the parasympathetic innervation of parotid gland?

A
  1. Pre-ganglionic neuron -Inferior salivatory nucleus -CN IX exits jugular foramen -Tympanic n. of IX, joins tympanic plexus, becomes lesser petrosal n. -Lesser petrosal n. exits foramen ovale 2. Post-ganglionic neuron -Otic ganglion -Hitch-hikes on auriculotemporal n. of V3
