vidian nerve मीनिंग इन हिंदी

Together, greater petrosal and deep petrosal nerves form the nerve of the pterygoid canal ( vidian nerve ) and they reach the pterygopalatine ganglion in the pterygopalatine fossa.
It then enters the cartilaginous substance which fills the foramen lacerum, and joins with the greater superficial petrosal nerve to form the nerve of the pterygoid canal, also known as the Vidian nerve.
Some of the preganglionic fibers travel along the greater petrosal nerve through the pterygoid canal ( where they join the postsynaptic fibers of the deep petrosal nerve and are called the Vidian nerve ) and synapse in the pterygopalatine ganglion, whereupon the postganglionic, postsynaptic, efferent fibers travel to innervate the lacrimal gland and the mucosal glands of the nose, palate, and pharynx.
