6 maj 2023 · Cranial Nerve IX. The glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) is responsible for motor (SVE) innervation of the stylopharyngeus and the pharyngeal constrictor muscles by the nucleus ambiguus. Inferior salivary nucleus fibers travel with cranial nerve IX to provide general visceral efferent (GVE) innervation to parotid, buccal and labial glands.
5 wrz 2010 · A step-by-step approach to cranial nerve examination in an OSCE setting, with an included video demonstration and interactive OSCE checklist.
The glossopharyngeal nerve is the ninth set of 12 cranial nerves (CN IX). It provides motor, parasympathetic and sensory information to your mouth and throat. Among its many functions, the nerve helps raise part of your throat, enabling swallowing.
3 lis 2023 · One of the ways to test the functionality of the glossopharyngeal nerve is to test the patient’s gag reflex. Since the glossopharyngeal nerve innervates the mucosa of the pharynx, and at the same time, it creates numerous anastomosis with the vagus nerve (dominant for the gastrointestinal functions), the slight stimulation of the posterior ...
11 kwi 2019 · Cranial nerve IX is the glossopharyngeal nerve, important for parasympathetic, motor and sensory innervation of the tongue, pharynx and larynx. Here, we break down the different anatomical structures contributing to the glossopharyngeal nerve and discuss its clinical relevance.
