1
Q

Which division of the visceral nerve system will pass through the parotid gland to innervate the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?

A

the parasympathetic nerve system

2
Q

How will sympathetics reach the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?

A

by way of a neurovascular plexus around the facial artery

3
Q

What C.N. are involved in the parasympathetic pathway to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?

A

branches of the facial nerve and the mandibular division of the trigeminal

4
Q

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?

A

chorda tympani nerve

5
Q

The chorda tympani nerve will join which nerve?

A

the lingual nerve of the mandibular division of the trigeminal

6
Q

The lingual nerve is a branch of which nerve?

A

the mandibular division of the trigeminal

7
Q

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?

A

the lingual nerve

8
Q

Preganglionic parasympathetic VE fibers will synapse in which ganglion along the pathway to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?

A

the submandibular ganglion

9
Q

What nerves carry postganglionic parasympathetic VE fibers to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?

A

glandular nerves
