These neurons derive from the superior cervical ganglion and the pterygopalatine ganglion respectively. They will travel to the lacrimal gland via the lacrimal nerve. Parasympathetic will induce lacrimation and vice versa. MESH:D017776 nervus visceralis Wikipedia:Autonomic_nerve UBERON:0034728 visceral nerve FMA:5866 SCTID:276145003 zygomaticotemporal nerve
