<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Parotid Plexus''' (also known as '''Plexus Parotideus''' or '''Pterygopalatine Ganglion''') is a network of nerves located in the parotid gland, which is the largest of the salivary glands. The parotid plexus is derived from the [[Facial Nerve]] and its branches innervate the facial muscles.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The term "Parotid Plexus" is derived from the Greek words "para" (beside), "ous, otos" (ear), and "plexus" (braid), referring to its location near the ear and its network-like structure.<br />
<br />
==Anatomy==<br />
The parotid plexus is formed by the branching of the facial nerve within the [[Parotid Gland]]. It consists of temporofacial and cervicofacial divisions which further divide into five main branches: the temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular, and cervical branches. These branches innervate the muscles of facial expression.<br />
<br />
==Clinical Significance==<br />
Damage to the parotid plexus can result in [[Facial Paralysis]], a condition that causes loss of voluntary muscle movement in the face. This can occur due to trauma, surgery, or diseases such as [[Bell's Palsy]] or [[Parotitis]], an inflammation of the parotid gland.<br />
<br />
==Related Terms==<br />
* [[Facial Nerve]]: The seventh cranial nerve that controls the muscles of facial expression, and functions in the conveyance of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and oral cavity.<br />
* [[Parotid Gland]]: The largest of the salivary glands, it secretes saliva to begin the digestion process.<br />
* [[Bell's Palsy]]: A condition that causes sudden, temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face.<br />
* [[Parotitis]]: An inflammation of one or both parotid glands, the major salivary glands located on either side of the face, in humans.<br />
