Flashcards in Visceral Efferent Pathways to the Submandibular and Sublingual Salivary Glands Deck (9)
Loading flashcards...
1
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
2
How will sympathetics reach the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
by way of a neurovascular plexus around the facial artery
3
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
4
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
5
The chorda tympani nerve will join which nerve?
the lingual nerve of the mandibular division of the trigeminal
6
The lingual nerve is a branch of which nerve?
the mandibular division of the trigeminal
7
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
8
Preganglionic parasympathetic VE fibers will synapse in which ganglion along the pathway to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?
the submandibular ganglion
