A

Dilated intitial segment of internal carotid

-inervated by CN IX AND X=monitors arterial blood pressure

19

Beginning=Submental triangle

-drains into external jugular vein

28
Q

Vagus Nerve

A
Longest Cranial Nerve CN X
-exits skull through jugular foramen
Gives rise to the following branches
-Recurrent Laryngeal
-contributions to pharyngeal plexus
-cardiac branches
-Superior laryngeal
29

3 Ganglia of Cervical Component
1)Superior Cervical Ganglion=largest, C1 C2 level
2)Middle Cervical Ganglion= level of cricoid cartilage C6
3)Inferior Cervical Ganglion-somtimes fused with thoracic ganglion and is then know as Stellate Ganglion
located at level of C7-superior border of 1st rib
