The following statements concerning chorda tympani nerve are true except that it_____________?
Correct answer: D. Contains postganglionic parasympathetic fibers
- A. Carries secretomotor fibrers to submandibular gland
- B. Joints lingual nerve in infratemporal fossa
- C. Is a branch of facial nerve
- D. Contains postganglionic parasympathetic fibers
Explanation
Chorda tympani is a branch of the facial nerve that joins the lingual nerve and carries preganglionic parasympathetic fibres to the submandibular ganglion. The postganglionic fibres leave the ganglion to supply the glands, so they are not contained in chorda tympani.
