The submandibular ganglion is a small parasympathetic ganglion suspended from the lingual nerve beneath the mandible. Preganglionic fibers originating from the facial nerve synapse here before sending postganglionic fibers to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands. These fibers stimulate saliva production, particularly when eating. The ganglion also carries sympathetic and sensory connections that pass through without synapsing. Its position near the floor of the mouth makes it relevant in dental procedures and salivary gland pathology.
