Which nerve transmits the preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the otic ganglion?
Explanation
The preganglionic parasympathetic fibers destined for the otic ganglion travel via the lesser petrosal nerve. The greater petrosal nerve carries parasympathetic fibers to the pterygopalatine ganglion, while the chorda tympani supplies the submandibular ganglion. The auriculotemporal nerve carries postganglionic fibers from the otic ganglion to the parotid gland.
