Pterygopalatine ganglion is functionally connected to_______________?
Correct answer: A. Facial nerve
- A. Facial nerve
- B. Mandibular nerve
- C. Glosso Pharyngeal nerve
- D. Maxillary nerve
Explanation
The pterygopalatine ganglion is functionally associated with the facial nerve because it receives its preganglionic parasympathetic fibres through the greater petrosal nerve. It is anatomically suspended from the maxillary nerve, but V2 does not provide its secretomotor fibres.
