Long ciliary nerves Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
The long ciliary nerves are branches associated with the nasociliary nerve reaching the eye without passing through the ciliary ganglion. They carry sensory pathways and sympathetic fibers. Their route differs from that of the short ciliary nerves.[ref]

Otic ganglion Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
The otic ganglion is a parasympathetic relay receiving fibers associated with the glossopharyngeal nerve through the lesser petrosal nerve. Postganglionic fibers reach the parotid gland using the auriculotemporal nerve.[ref]

Short ciliary nerves Created 2026-10-31 Updated 2026-11-05
The short ciliary nerves connect the ciliary ganglion region with the eye. They carry postganglionic parasympathetic fibers together with sensory and sympathetic fibers; these components differ in origin and synaptic history.[ref]
