sensory?

parasympathetic component?
sympathetic?
- auriculotemporal branch of the mandibular division of the
trigeminal nerve,
- the great auricular nerve, a branch of the cervical plexus composed of fibres from the anterior rami of C2 and C3, innervates the parotid sheath and overlying skin
-The parasympathetic component of the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) supplies presynaptic
secretory fibres to the otic ganglion and post-synaptic parasympathetic fibres are
conveyed from the ganglion to the gland within the auriculotemporal nerve
- sympathetic comes form cervical ganglia through the external carotid nerve plexus on the external carotid artery.
