CN IX Flashcards
What muscle does CN IX innervate
stylopharyngeous
CN IX has what type of fibers
Motor, sensory, autonomic
making it a mixed nerve
where do the motor fibers arise from in the glossopharyngeal n.
superior part of the nucleus ambiguous
CN IX: Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers arise from
inferior salivatory nucleus
CN IX: Sensory afferent fibers terminate in
Solitary nucleus
What are the 2 ganglion associated with CN IX
Superior ganglion (smaller) inferior ganglion (larger)
Origin of glossopharyngeal nerve
superior lateral aspect of the medulla oblongata
CN IX exits the skull via
jugular foramen
CN IX exits posterior to what
septum
Where do motor fibers carried in CN IX arise from?
nucleus ambiguous
Preganglionic parasympathetic arise from
inferior salivatory nucleus
Sensory fibers terminate where
solitary nucleus
What are the 2 peripheral ganglion associated with CN IX
superior and inferior ganglion
information conveyed to the CNS synapse where
spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve CN V
Taste info posterior to sulcus terminalis is carried in the inferior ganglion and synapses where
Superior part of the solitary nucleus
Visceral afferent info from carotid sinus and body carried in the inferior ganglion to synapse where
inferior part of solitary nucleus
