Members do not see this ad.

I was reading in a book that there are parasympathetic nerve fibers in lips. Is that true? I have searched it for a picture of parasympathetic fibers in face but no luck. Can anyone verify this? Or point me to a site that covers ANS in great detail? Thanks.

You probably want to search for Cranial Nerve Parasympathetic Paths and Control

Off the top of my head, they innervate the oculomotor nerve (pupil relaxation).

and many other glands

The specific nerve you are looking for involves Cranial Nerve VII (CNVII - Facial Nerve) Marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve

V3 (Mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve) conducts afferents from lower lips.
