It has three roots: 1. Motor, from the facial nerve through the Vidian. 2. Sensory, from the spheno-palatine branches of the fifth nerve. 3. Sympathetic, from the carotid plexus, through the Vidian nerve. 6. The submaxillary ganglion, on the third divi- sion of the fifth nerve, is situated above the deep portion of the submaxillary gland, near the posterior portion of the mylo-hyoid muscle. It has three roots : 1. Motor, from the chorda tympani, a branch of the facial nerve. 2. Sensory, from filaments from the gustatory nerve, a branch of the fifth. 3. Sym- pathetic, from filaments from the nervi moUes, the sympathetic plexus round the facial artery. 7. The ganghform enlargement on the facial nerve is situated opposite the hiatus Fallopii. It commu- nicates by the large petrosal nerve with Meckel's (yansflion: bv filaments from the small petrosal (a branch of the eighth nerve) with the otic ganglion ; by the external petrosal with the sympathetic fila- ments accompanying the middle meningeal artery. 8. The jugular ganglion of the pneumogastric, the ganghon of the root of the pneumogastric, is connected with the spinal accessory nerve, with the petrous ganghon of the glossopharyngeal, with the facial nerve by means of its auricular branch, with](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21914448_0032.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
