"The lingual nerve receives preganglionic parasympathetic and taste fibres from the chorda tympani (branch of the facial nerve); the former synapse in the submandibular ganglion. The postganglionic parasympathetic fibres are secretomotor to the salivary glands. The taste and parasympathetic fibres within the lingual nerve originate in the facial nerve; the taste fibres have their cell bodies in the geniculate ganglion.1,2"
