Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The accessory nerve, also known as the eleventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve XI, or simply CN XI, is a cranial nerve that supplies the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles.
Detailed explanation-2: -The accessory or spinal nerve has a double origin but always comes out of the jugular foramen.
