Study Notes
Head & Neck Autonomics
- Lecture 5, Med Neuro II, January 23, 2025, by Liam Zachary, PhD
- Focuses on autonomic innervation of head and neck structures
- Key Ganglia: Trigeminal (sensory), Ciliary (PNS), Pterygopalatine (PNS), Otic (PNS), Submandibular (PNS)
- Learning Objectives cover autonomic innervation areas: intrinsic eye muscles/eyelid, lacrimal gland, nasal/palatal mucosa, parotid gland/buccal mucosa, submandibular/sublingual glands, pharyngeal/laryngeal mucosa
Learning Objectives
- Describe autonomic innervation of intrinsic eye muscles and eyelid
- Describe autonomic innervation of lacrimal gland and nasal/palatal mucosa
- Compare/contrast the anatomical bases of oculosympathetic paresis (Horner's syndrome) and oculomotor nerve palsy
- Describe autonomic innervation of parotid gland and buccal mucosa, describing the anatomical basis of Frey's syndrome
- Describe autonomic innervation of submandibular and sublingual glands.
- Describe autonomic innervation of pharyngeal and laryngeal mucosa
Parasympathetic Ganglia of the Head: Overview
- CN V provides pathways for postganglionic parasympathetic fibers via 4 ganglia: Ciliary (V1), Pterygopalatine (V2), Otic (V3), Submandibular (V3)
- CN V carries postganglionic sympathetic fibers from cervical ganglia of the sympathetic trunk
Trigeminal Nerve: Summary of Autonomics

Autonomics of the Eye: Ciliary Ganglion
- Ciliary ganglion location relative to optic nerve
- Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from oculomotor nerve (CNIII)
- Postganglionic parasympathetic fibers connecting to the intrinsic eye muscles
Autonomics of the Eye Intrinsic Muscles
- Structures (iris, pupil, sclera, ciliary body, ciliary muscle, lens)
- Muscles of the pupil: sphincter pupillae (parasympathetic) and dilator pupillae (sympathetic)
- Ciliary body's role in accommodation
Autonomics of the Eyelid: Superior Tarsal Muscle
- Superior tarsal muscle innervation from the sympathetic nervous system
- Postganglionic sympathetic fibers originate in the superior cervical ganglion and travel through the internal carotid plexus
Autonomics of the Lacrimal Gland & Nasal/Palatal Mucosa
- Description of autonomic innervation pathways for lacrimal gland and nasal/palatal mucosa using a diagrammatic representation

Autonomics of the Parotid Gland: Lesser Petrosal Nerve
- Detailed description of the Lesser Petrosal nerve's course and connections.

- Diagram of the pathways involved in autonomic control of the submandibular and sublingual glands
Autonomics of the Sublingual & Submandibular Glands: Submandibular Ganglion
- Description of the submandibular ganglion and its components, focusing on the preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the chorda tympani and the postganglionic sympathetics coming via the facial artery.
Autonomics of the Sublingual and Submandibular Glands: Overview
- Summary of paths for submandibular and sublingual glands
Parasympathetic Ganglia of the Head: Summary
- Diagrammatic illustration of parasympathetic ganglia pathways for each head structure
Autonomics of the Pharyngeal & Laryngeal Mucosa
- Description of autonomic innervation of the pharyngeal and laryngeal mucosa involving the vagus nerve.
Ph.Autonomics of Pharyngeal/Laryngeal Mucosa: Parasympathetics
- Vagus nerve branches involved (pharyngeal and laryngeal branches).
Ph.Autonomics of Pharyngeal/Laryngeal Mucosa: Sympathetics
- Details on the sympathetic trunk's branches that innervate the same head structures.
Oculosympathetic Paresis & Oculomotor Nerve Palsy
- Distinguishing characteristics between ptosis due to Horner's syndrome and oculomotor nerve palsy, focusing on pupil size (constricted vs. dilated)
Oculosympathetic Paresis: Horner's Syndrome
- Description of the symptoms and causes of Horner's syndrome (miosis, partial ptosis, anhidrosis, apparent enopthalmos)
- Discusses the disruption of sympathetic pathways
Oculosympathetic Paresis: Types
- Categories of Horner's syndrome based on the location of the lesions (central, preganglionic, postganglionic).
