Nerves Of The Neck Flashcards
Glossopharyngeal nerve branches
- Tympanic nerve
- Branch to carotid sinus
- Pharyngeal branch
- Branch to stylopharyngeus
- Tonsillar branch
- Lingual branch
Tympanic nerve supplies
Sensory to tympanic cavity
Secretomotor to parotid gland
Branch to carotid sinus supplies
Sensory to carotid sinus and carotid body
Pharyngeal branch of glossopharyngeal nerve supplies
Sensory to pharynx
Pharyngeal branch of glossopharyngeal nerve unites with what to form pharyngeal plexus
Vagus and sympathetic trunk
Branch to stylopharyngeus supplies
Motor to stylopharyngeus muscle
Tonsillar branch supplies
Sensory to soft palate and to muscous membrane over tonsil
Lingual branch supplies
Taste and general sensation to posterior 1/3 of tongue
Vagus nerve branches
- Meningeal branch
- Auricular branch
- Pharyngeal branch
- Superior laryngeal nerve
- Recurrent laryngeal nerve
Vagus nerve ganglia
Superior (jugular) ganglion
Inferior (nodose) ganglion
Superior jugular ganglion of vagus nerve location
Jugular foramen
Vagus nerve branches from superior ganglion
Meningeal branch
Auricular branch
Vagus nerve branches from inferior ganglion
Pharyngeal branch
Superior laryngeal nerve
Meningeal branch of vagus supplies
Sensory to dura mater
Auricular branch of vagus nerve supplies
Sensory to auricle, floor of external auditory meatus, tympanic membrane
Pharyngeal branch of vagus motor supply
Muscles of pharynx and soft palate
Most Fibers from pharyngeal branch of vagus originate from
Cranial part of accessory nerve before joining vagus nerve
Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve joins with branches of what to form pharyngeal plexus
Glossopharyngeal nerve and sympathetic trunk
Pharyngeal plexus is motor to
Muscles of pharynx EXCEPT stylopharyngeus and muscles of soft palate EXCEPT tensor veli palatini
