Carpenter's principles of human physiology . s petrosus superficialis minor ; and vaso-motor fibresfrom the sympathetic plexus surrounding the middle meningeal artery. Itsupplies motor branches to the tensor tympani and tensor palati, and, by itsconnection with the auriculo-temporal and facial nerves, influences thesecretion of the Parotid gland. The submaxillary ganglion is connected withthe lingual nerve after it has been joined by the chorda tympani, andwhilst it is lying on the hyoglossus. It receives sensory fibres from thelingualis; motor from the facial through the chorda tympani; secretorythrough the chorda tympani, and sympathetic fibres from the plexus sur-rounding the facial. It gives off sensory fibres to the submaxillary andsublingual glands, and to their ducts, motor fibres to the unstriated musculartissue of these parts, and secretory fibres to the same glands; and it alsoappears to supply both vaso-constrictor fibres, probably derived from thesympathetic, and vaso-dilator fibres derived from the facial. Fig. The distribution of the Facial Nerve, and the branches of the Cervical plexus :—1, the facial nerve,escaping from the stylo-mastoid foramen, and crossing: the ramus of the lower jaw; the parotidgland has been removed in order to show the nerve more distinctly. 2, theposterior auricular branch;the digastric and stylo-mastoid filaments are seen near the origin of this branch. 3, temporalbranches, communicating with (4) the branches of the frontal nerve. 5, facial branches, communi-cating with (6) the infra-orbital nerve. 7, facial branches, communicating with (8) the mentalnerve. 9, cervico-facial branches, communicating with (10) the superficialis colli nerve, and forminga plexus (11) over the submaxillary gland. The distribution of the branches of the facial in aradiating direction over the side of the face, constitutes the pes anserinus. 12, the auricularis magnusnerve, one of the ascending branches of the cervical plexus. 13, the occipi
