Glossopharyngeal Nerve Overview in 5 minutes - Human Anatomy | Kenhub

The glossopharyngeal nerve belongs to a set of neural structures known as the cranial nerves. They are bilateral, meaning you can find one on each side. There are many branches of the glossopharyngeal nerve, the most of which are involved in general sensation.

For example, the lingual branches of the glossopharyngeal nerve are involved in the sensation of the tongue. The tonsillar branches are involved in the sensation of your tonsils. The pharyngeal branches are responsible for the afferent innervation of the pharynx. The tympanic branch is involved in the innervation of the middle ear of the pharyngotympanic tube... and that’s only a snippet! Watch the rest of this video to learn more about general sensation, special sensation, visceral sensation and more!

In this video, we cover:

0:42 Definition of the glossopharyngeal nerve
2:10 Glossopharyngeal nerve general sensation
3:42 Glossopharyngeal nerve special sensation
4:00 Glossopharyngeal nerve visceral sensation
4:15 Glossopharyngeal nerve parasympathetic function
4:44 Glossopharyngeal nerve somatic motor function

4:56 Stylopharyngeus muscle arises from the 3rd pharyngeal arch. So its motor fibre should be considered SVM (special visceral motor), not somatic motor.

What is the connection between phasolaryngial nerves and functions with temporal mandibular joint?

[tcecot]

Pretentious, 'semi-funny', not explanatory but just a description or listing of facts in particular order. This gives impression of good explanation, but is not.

i really like the voice is this audio, it's clear and easily understandable, so i have no problem in catching the info!

[조동규-vz]

Thank you to make this video! It is very helpful to study anatomy.😁

[omar]

What a wonderful summary !
Thanks for the clear voice, it's really good 👏

[nadjamehic]

This is amazing. It makes anatomy fun and simple. Thank you so much!!!

[dagger]

Thank u so much kenhub team i really appriciate your efforts

[fatimahmoayed]

I love you guys u make it easy for me ❤️❤️thank you so much

[Fossilized-cryptid]

the tympanic plexus is formed on the promontory of the tympanic cavity, not the tympanic membrane, small mistake that for non surgery is ok i think

[nithyasree.r]

Your videos are very awesome thanku so much

[doctor.angela]

Hahaha, the cat pic- literally me right now

[mindseeker]

This channel is really amazing. Thank you so much for your illustrations in anatomy. You facilitated a lot of points in anatomy. Thanks for your efforts.

[adilanaseer]

Thank u for giving me easy and nice videos of my subject

[oxiosophy]

half of the video delivers little to no information
the rest is just listing facts with pictures

[mohanjr]

Is there physiology tutorial wepsite like kenhub plz answer ?

[asemalrifai]

Title being anatomy with nothing about the origin and course of the nerve, it's only about function

[mitchellmbah]

To think you were going to talk about its course..

Why does this channel have 166k subs but only get fucking 14 comments per video?

My friend got punched in the center of his chest and passed out and had a fit why did this happen?
