Nerve VIII
Glossopharngeal nerve-Superficial
attachment & functional components
GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL
th
9 Cranial Nerve
Functional Components :
Motor fibers to stylopharyngeus
Sensory fibers for general sensation
and taste of the posterior 1/3 of the tongue
& mucous membrane of the
pharynx,tonsil and soft palate
Carotid sinus and body-chemoreceptor
& baroreceptor -influence blood pressure
& respiration
Parasympathetic to parotid salivary
gland thru otic ganglion
Assist swallowing &
salivation,conducts sensation from
posterior part of tongue & pharynx(gag reflex )
Functional components
1.General sensory-Auricular branch
(external ear)
2.Visceral motor- Pharyngeal branch to
pharyngeal plexus The branchial motor
component of CN X provides voluntary
control of
muscles of the pharynx
muscle of the larynx,
( except for the stylopharyngeus muscle
(CN IX) and the tensor veli palatini
muscle (CN V).)
Palatoglossus muscle of the tongue
(the rest of the muscles of the tongue
are innervated by CN XII).
3.Parasympathetic component

Vagus
* Cardiac branches
*Esophageal plexus
Anterior vagal trunk (to

* Posterior vagal trunk (to

flexure)secretomotor

ACCESSORY NERVE
Cranial root joins the vagus and its
branches are distributed to the
muscles of soft palate and
pharynx via pharyngeal plexus
and to the muscles of larynx
except the cricothyroid muscle
(responsible for movement of the
soft palate,pharynx,larynx)
Spinal root (from upper 5 cervical
segments ascends along the spinal
cord & enters the foramen
magnum) supplies the sternocleidomastoid
and trapezius muscles
HYPOGLOSSAL NERVE-XII
Cranial Nerve
Is a motor nerve
Emerges from the medulla
oblongata between the
pyramid & olive
Crosses the posterior cranial
fossa & leaves the skull
through the hypoglossal canal
Passes downwards forwards
to supply the tongue muscles
except the palatoglossus
Controls the shape &
movement of the tongue
NERVE LESIONS
9th,10th &11th Cranial Nerves can be compressed
by a tumor while passing through the jugular
foramen or the nuclei can be damaged in
vascular lesions-(bulbar palsy)
Glossopharyngeal nerve lesion results in Difficulty in swallowing,
loss of taste in posterior 1/3 of tongue
decrease salivation
