MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cranial nerve 10 is also a multimodal nerve, It originates from multiple nuclei in the brainstem, and exits the skull through the jugular foramen. It is the longest cranial nerve and the only one to leave the head and neck region.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neuroanatomy, Cranial Nerve 10 (Vagus Nerve)

Detailed explanation-3: -The vagus nerve runs from the brain through the face and thorax to the abdomen. Exits the brain from the medulla oblongata of the brainstem and travels laterally exiting the skull through the jugular foramen.

Detailed explanation-4: -CN X controls motor function of the larynx (recurrent laryngeal branch), pharynx and esophagus (cervical esophagus innervated by the pharyngeal and recurrent laryngeal branches while the thoracic esophagus is innervated by the vagal branches).

Detailed explanation-5: -vagus clinic The vagus nerve is the cranial nerve X (CNX) or your tenth cranial nerve. It is also known as the “wandering nerve” because it is the longest parasympathetic nerve in the body! It has been compared to the conductor of the orchestra because it takes the lead in almost every autonomic function in the body.
