True about tympanic nerve:
High-Yield Explanation
The Tympanic nerve, or Jacobson nerve, is a branch of the Glossopharyngeal nerve. It contains preganglionic parasympathetic fibers, and forms a tympanic plexus on the medial wall of the middle ear with sympathetic fibers. The Tympanic nerve continues beyond the plexus as the Lesser petrosal nerve, which transmits preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the otic ganglion for synapse.
