pterygopalatine ganglion การใช้

The postganglionic parasympathetic fibers leave the pterygopalatine ganglion in several directions.
It also supplies parasympathetic innervation to the nasal mucosa and the lacrimal gland via the pterygopalatine ganglion.
It also carries post-synaptic parasympathetic fibers ( originating in the pterygopalatine ganglion ) to the lacrimal nerve via a communication.
In contrast to their parasympathetic counterparts, sympathetic fibers do not synapse in the pterygopalatine ganglion, having done so already in the sympathetic trunk.
Although it is closely related to the pterygopalatine ganglion, it is still considered a branch of the maxillary nerve and does not synapse in the ganglion.
