  2. Secretomotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretomotor

    An example of secretomotor activity can be seen with the lacrimal gland, [1] which secretes the aqueous layer of the tear film. The lacrimal branch of the ophthalmic nerve (itself a branch of trigeminal nerve V1) supplies secretomotor innervation to the lacrimal gland, stimulating its secretion of the aqueous layer.

    Receives taste from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, provides secretomotor innervation to the parotid gland, and provides motor innervation to the stylopharyngeus. Some sensation is also relayed to the brain from the palatine tonsils. This nerve is involved together with the vagus nerve in the gag reflex. X Vagus: Both sensory and motor

  4. Auriculotemporal nerve - Wikipedia

    After a parotidectomy, the nerves from the Auriculotemporal Nerve that previously innervated the parotid gland can reattach to the sweat glands in the same region. The result is sweating along the cheek with the consumption of foods (Frey's syndrome). Treatment involves the application of an antiperspirant or glycopyrrolate to the cheek ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_petrosal_nerve

    The lesser petrosal nerve (also known as the small superficial petrosal nerve) is the general visceral efferent (GVE) nerve conveying pre-ganglionic parasympathetic secretomotor fibers for the parotid gland from the tympanic plexus to the otic ganglion (where they synapse). It passes out of the tympanic cavity through the petrous part of the ...

    The zygomaticotemporal nerve confers a parasympathetic [7] secretomotor [2]: 495 communicating [2]: 402 branch (containing post-ganglionic fibres for the lacrimal gland from the pterygopalatine ganglion [2]: 399 ) to the lacrimal nerve at the superior portion of the lateral wall of the orbit.

    They produce vasodilator and secretomotor effects. Its sympathetic root is derived from the plexus on the middle meningeal artery. It contains post-ganglionic fibers arising in the superior cervical ganglion. The fibers pass through the ganglion without relay and reach the parotid gland via the auriculotemporal nerve. They are vasomotor in ...

    Diagram of the cervical sympathetic. Depicts nerve branches that are involved in the autonomic innervation of the lacrimal gland. The terminal parts of the pathway are variable between individuals and differ for the other glands of the deep face.

  9. Pterygopalatine ganglion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterygopalatine_ganglion

    Its parasympathetic root is derived from the nervus intermedius (a part of the facial nerve) through the greater petrosal nerve.. In the pterygopalatine ganglion, the preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the greater petrosal branch of the facial nerve synapse with neurons whose postganglionic axons, vasodilator, and secretory fibers are distributed with the deep branches of the trigeminal ...
