Glossopharyngeal (CN IX) Nerve

Version 1

Abstract

This nerve may supply the mylohyoid and the anterior belly of the digastric nerve. A communicating branch sometimes arises between the glossopharyngeal and facial nerves. A tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal may arise from two roots, one of which may come from the vagus. The glossopharyngeal may receive fibers from the hypoglossal just distal to the hypoglossal foramen.
