Preganglionic sympathetic fibers arise from ___ levels
T1 - T4
Postganglionic sympathetic fibers arise from the _____ and reach their target end organs via branches of the ___
superior cervical ganglion;
internal and external carotid arteries
The pharyngeal plexus is formed by what 3 nerve branches?
1) Vagus
2) Glossopharyngeal
3) postganglionic sympathetic fibers from superior cervical ganglion
Motor fibers in the pharyngeal plexus are derived from what?
Cranial root of CN XI and innervate all pharynx mm except stylopharyngeus and tensor vali by CN X
This is CN XI via X
Sensory fibers of pharyngeal plexus are derived from
