head. It receives fibers from both the motor, sensory, and
parasympathetic components of the facial nerve and sends fibers that will innervate the
lacrimal glands,
submandibular glands,
sublingual glands,

palate,
pharynx,
external auditory meatus,

digastric muscle,
stylohyoid muscle, and muscles of
