Embryology by Selber, Jesse C. / Ear, Nose and Throat Journal The innervation of the submandibular gland is similar to that of the parotid gland; the difference involves preganglionic parasympathetic fibers that originate in the superior salivatory nucleus and travel along the facial nerve and the chorda tympani to the submandibular ganglion.
