Otic ganglion the tensor palati and the tensor tympani pass through the ganglion without relay. The ganglion is connected to the chorda tympani nerve and also to the nerve of the pterygoid canal. These pathways provide an alternate pathway of taste from the anterior two thirds of the tongue. These fibers do not pass through the middle ear. Frey's syndrome in which salivation will induce perspiration at the parotid region, accompanied by erythema. Otic ganglion The otic ganglion is a small parasympathetic ganglion located immediately below the foramen ovale in the infratemporal fossa and on the medial surface of the mandibular nerve.
Skeletal changes of organisms transitioning from water to land tetrapod. In the tetrapod and higher clades from the lower-middle Famennian there are several defining changes on the basis of anatomy of "Ichthyostega", "Tulerpeton", and "Acanthostega". In the cranium, there is a stapes derived from the hyomandibular of fishes; a single bilateral pair of nasal bones, and a fenestra ovalis in the otic capsule of the braincase. The opening of the otic wall of the braincase can be considered a paedomorphic feature for tetrapods and is linked to the stapes functionally. The stapes was thought to be just a structural support between the palate and the stapedial plate of the
