Branches of the facial nerve
Greater petrosal nerve Nerve to stapedius Chorda tympani Posterior auricular nerve Terminal branches *geniculate ganglion
describe greaeter petrosal nerve
Arises from the geniculate ganglion;
Contains secretomotor fibers to the LACRIMAL GLAND
Describe chorda tympani
Contains secretomotor fibers to the submandibular and sublingual glands;
Taste fibers to the ant 2/3 of tongue and floor of the mouth
Describe posterior auricular nerve
Supplies: Back of auricle External auditory meatus Tympanic membrane Posterior belly of digastric Stylohyoid
Facial nerve: lies within the parotid saslivary gland after leaving the __________________ foramen and is located between the superficial and deep parts of the gland
Stylomastoid foramen
