Guest guest Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Good morning all I have question about parotid gland nerve supply is it ? From glossopharyngeal (9th nerve) via lesser petrosal nerve Or Auriculotemporal nerve V3? cause I think in McQs they will put both options? Looking forward to ur answers Balsam Sent from my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Although the facial nerve passes through the parotid gland it does not receive innervation from it. Instead, the parotid gland is innervated by parasympathetic fibers (of inf. salivatory nucleus) of the glossopharyngeal nerve arising from the otic ganglion, & sympathetic fibers originating from the middle meningeal plexus.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Postganglionic fibres reach gland through auriculotemporal nerve.But the parasympathetic supply is mainly through 1X nerve.
