Visceral Efferent Pathways to the Submandibular and Sublingual Salivary Glands Flashcards
Which division of the visceral nerve system will pass through the parotid gland to innervate the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
the parasympathetic nerve system
How will sympathetics reach the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
by way of a neurovascular plexus around the facial artery
What C.N. are involved in the parasympathetic pathway to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
branches of the facial nerve and the mandibular division of the trigeminal
Which branch of C.N. VII will convey preganglionic parasympathetic VE fibers from the temporal bone in the pathway to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
chorda tympani nerve
The chorda tympani nerve will join which nerve?
the lingual nerve of the mandibular division of the trigeminal
The lingual nerve is a branch of which nerve?
the mandibular division of the trigeminal
Which branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal will convey preganglionic parasympathetic VE fibers in the pathway to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
the lingual nerve
Preganglionic parasympathetic VE fibers will synapse in which ganglion along the pathway to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
the submandibular ganglion
What nerves carry postganglionic parasympathetic VE fibers to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
glandular nerves
