The glossopharyngeal nerve (N IX) has parasympathetic fibers that innervate the parotid salivary gland. The nasal glands, tear glands, and salivary glands (other than parotid) are mainly innervated by the facial nerve (N VII). The intrinsic eye muscles are innervated by the oculomotor nerve (N III). The visceral organs in the inferior portion of the abdominopelvic cavity are mainly innervated by the vagus nerve (N X) and pelvic splanchnic nerves.
