This page covers biological details of component Submandibular Ganglion. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Peripheral Nervous System -> Parasympathetic Ganglia (PNS.PSYM) -> Head and Neck Parasympathetic Ganglia (PN.PSYM.HD) -> Submandibular Ganglion (LAC.PN.PSYM.SXG) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: parasympathetic ganglion
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• Role: parasympathetic.ganglion
• Function: Submaxillary and sublingual salivary glands
• Notes to function: Head and neck region, facilitate respiration
