Respiratory activity in glossopharyngeal, vagus and accessory nerves and pharyngeal constrictors in newborn rat in vitro -- Iizuka 532 (2): 535 -- The Journal of Physiology Online After the glossopharyngeal nerve, pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve, superior laryngeal nerve, cervical vagus nerve and accessory nerve and ganglion had been freed from as much of the surrounding connective tissues as possible, the brainstem-spinal cord was isolated together with these nerves (Fig. IX, glossopharyngeal nerve: PhX, pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve: SLN, superior laryngeal nerve: CX, cervical vagus nerve. Discrimination between the glossopharyngeal nerve, the vagus nerve and the cranial branch of the accessory nerve at the surface of the brainstem is difficult in the rat, since their emerging rootlets are distributed in a continuous fashion from rostral to caudal levels of the brainstem (Fig. jp.physoc.org /cgi/content/full/532/2/535   (7950 words)

IX. Neurology. 5j. The Vagus Nerve. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. —This ganglion is connected by several delicate filaments to the cranial portion of the accessory nerve; it also communicates by a twig with the petrous ganglion of the glossopharyngeal, with the facial nerve by means of its auricular branch, and with the sympathetic by means of an ascending filament from the superior cervical ganglion. In emerging through this opening, the vagus is accompanied by and contained in the same sheath of dura mater with the accessory nerve, a septum separating them from the glossopharyngeal which lies in front (Fig. The sensory fibers arise from the cells of the jugular ganglion and ganglion nodosum of the nerve, and, when traced into the medulla oblongata mostly end by arborizing around the cells of the inferior part of a nucleus which lies beneath the ala cinerea in the lower part of the rhomboid fossa. www.bartleby.com /107/205.html   (7950 words)

Autonomic nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Sympathetic Afferent Fibers of the Glossopharyngeal Nerve are supposed to arise either in the dorsal nucleus (nucleus ala cinerea) or in a distinct nucleus, the inferior salivatory nucleus, situated near the dorsal nucleus. Sympathetic Afferent Fibers, whose cells of origin lie in the superior or inferior ganglion of the trunk, are supposed to terminate in the dorsal nucleus. Much of our present knowledge of the sympathetic nervous system has been acquired through the application of various drugs, especially nicotine which paralyzes the connections or synapses between the preganglionic and postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nerves. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system   (3139 words)

VI. The Arteries. 3a. 4. The Internal Carotid Artery. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. It is in relation, behind, with the Longus capitis, the superior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk, and the superior laryngeal nerve; laterally, with the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve, the nerve lying on a plane posterior to the artery; medially, with the pharynx, superior laryngeal nerve, and ascending pharyngeal artery. The artery is separated from the bony wall of the carotid canal by a prolongation of dura mater, and is surrounded by a number of small veins and by filaments of the carotid plexus, derived from the ascending branch of the superior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk. Higher up, it is separated from the external carotid by the Styloglossus and Stylopharyngeus, the tip of the styloid process and the stylohyoid ligament, the glossopharyngeal nerve and the pharyngeal branch of the vagus. www.bartleby.com /107/146.html   (2522 words)

Autonomic nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Sympathetic Afferent Fibers of the Glossopharyngeal Nerve are supposed to arise either in the dorsal nucleus (nucleus ala cinerea) or in a distinct nucleus, the inferior salivatory nucleus, situated near the dorsal nucleus. According to some authors the fibers to the salivary glands arise from a special nucleus, the superior salivatory nucleus, consisting of cells scattered in the reticular formation, dorso-medial to the facial nucleus. Sympathetic Afferent Fibers of the Vagus, whose cells of origin lie in the jugular ganglion or the ganglion nodosum, probably terminate in the dorsal nucleus of the medulla oblongata or according to some authors in the nucleus of the tractus solitarius. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system   (2522 words)

Autonomic nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Sympathetic Afferent Fibers of the Glossopharyngeal Nerve are supposed to arise either in the dorsal nucleus (nucleus ala cinerea) or in a distinct nucleus, the inferior salivatory nucleus, situated near the dorsal nucleus. These preganglionic fibers are distributed partly through the chorda tympani and lingual nerves to the submaxillary ganglion where they terminate about the cell bodies of neurons whose axons as postganglionic fibers conduct secretory and vasodilotar impulses to the submaxillary and sublingual glands. According to some authors the fibers to the salivary glands arise from a special nucleus, the superior salivatory nucleus, consisting of cells scattered in the reticular formation, dorso-medial to the facial nucleus. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system   (2522 words)

Parasympathetic Nervous System The cranial nerve nuclei include the Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the oculomotor nerve (cn III), the superior salivatory nucleus for the facial nerve (cn VII), inferior salivatory nucleus--glossopharyngeal nerve (cn IX), and two nuclei of the vagus nerve (cn X), the dorsal motor nucleus of X and the nucleus ambiguus. Instead, the nucleus of Edinger-Westphal axons exit with the oculomotor fibers to the ciliary ganglion, and the postganglionic fibers innervate the iris and ciliary body. The presynaptic fibers arise in the cranial or spinal nucleus, and these fibers extend to a terminal ganglion which usually is part of or at the target organ itself. sky.bsd.uchicago.edu /lcy_ref/synap/parasympathetic.html   (1934 words)

The Autonomic Nervous System Preganglionic fibers of the inferior salivatory nucleus of cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) synapse on postganglionic fibers in the otic ganglion, which go on to innervate the parotid gland. Preganglionic fibers of the dorsal nucleus of the vagus synapse on postganglionic nerves in a variety of ganglia in the thoracic and abdominal region. The superior cervical ganglion is the most superior ganglion of the body at which the preganglionic fibers can synapse on postganglionic fibers and make their way to their target organs. www.georgetown.edu /users/rgk8/neuronr11.htm   (1934 words)

Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine: Paraganglioma of the tongue The vast majority of head and neck paragangliomas arise from the carorid body, ganglion nodosum, jugoulotympanic paraganglia, or the superior and inferior laryngeal nerves. Cases of orbital, nasopharyngeal, and thyroid paragangliomas have been characterized.2 Anatomic locations of minor paraganglia are not always well known, and it is possible that finding a paraganglioma at the base of the tongue implies the presence of paraganglia related to the glossopharyngeal nerve or the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve. Head and neck paraganglia occur in association with the carotid body, the ganglion nodosum of the vagus nerve, the middle ear (jugulotympanic paraganglia), and in other rarer sites where paraganglia are known to exist.2 To our knowledge, paraganglia have not been discovered previously in the tongue. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3725/is_200006/ai_n8884831   (1796 words)
