Trigeminal Parasympathetic Pathway

Molecular classification: Neural Pathway

Overview

The trigeminal parasympathetic pathway is a neuroanatomical route by which parasympathetic fibers reach target organs in the head and neck, using branches of the trigeminal nerve as conduits. This pathway regulates secretory functions such as tear and mucus production, and contributes to vascular regulation. Dysfunction or modulation is implicated in conditions like dry eye disease, and it's targeted by nasal neurostimulation devices. Key structures include the pterygopalatine ganglion and neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and CGRP.
