<prompt> Sensory supply of parotid gland -Mandibular nerveGreater petrosal nerveAuriculotemporal nerveLesser petrosal nerve  <response>: Ans. is c i.e., Auriculotemporal nerve Nerve supply of parotid gland o Innervation of salivary gland is as follows1 Parasympathetic secretomotor: They reach the gland through auriculotemporal nerve as following routei Preganglionic fibers Originate in inferior salivary nucleus; pass through glossopharyngeal nerve; its tympanic branch; tympanic plexus, and lesser petrosal nerve.ii Relay ganglion Otic ganglion.iii Postganglionic fibers Pass through the auriculotemporal nerve to reach the gland.2 Sympathetic Vasomotor: Derived from the plexus around middle meningeal artery.3 Sensory: Derived from auriculotemporal nerve, except for parotid fascia and overlying skin which are innervated by great auricular nerve C2, C3.
