Vagus nerve anatomy

Wandering ramblings about the vagus nerve. Actually, it is a structured description of the anatomy of the vagus nerve, but there's quite a lot to talk about!

Thank you. This is the first comprehensive vagus nerve tutorial that I have come across, and I’ve been searching for quite awhile. In one sit down, you’ve answered all my questions and cleared the muddy waters of confusion that other sources have created. Thank you for what you do. I so appreciate how you present your extensive knowledge - with zero ego and with grace and humility, all wrapped up in an engaging, entertaining and understandable package. Bravo!

So glad I found this. It explains every symptom I've had for a year and a half. Been to countless doctors and specialists and nobody can figure out what is wrong. Some of them didn't even try and just said it's stress. I've got symptoms ranging from mini strokes to seizures triggered by high pitched sounds, physical stress, and emotion. I also have overactive sensitivity to touch sensitivity on the right side of my body specifically to the area of my abdomen where my gallbladder was and directly behind that just to the right of my spine. There's also balance issues, temporary loss of motor functions on my right side, digestion problems and that's not even half of it. Hopefully I can get my doctors to take their heads out of their asses long enough to listen to me and actually get them to do something about it. I suggested before that my symptoms might have something to do with my gallbladder surgery since the vagus nerve runs near it but doctors keep insisting I'm just stressed from the pandemic because my surgery was in 2016 and my symptoms only started in 2020. I know what stress feels like and this aint it. Thank you for helping me realize that I haven't been crazy this whole time. I mean I am but...not about this lol

I can’t even explain how lucky I feel to find your videos.
You literally helped me to see clear and understand things what was really difficult for years.
Watching your videos makes everything much easier and after long time I feel motivated again to refresh all my knowledge of anatomy.
I’m not only talking about this video ...I mean generally.
Thank you so much for your time and help for all
of us.I really appreciate it!❤️

You are the best! 30+ minute videos of this excellent quality are just what us big boys & girls need to stay sharp in the classroom & office! TY!

After months of searching for a good rundown of just *where* the vagus nerve starts and ends and the structures it meets along the way, I finally land on this genius! So completely understandable and clear.

I have recovered from severe Vagus nerve disfunction... a pregnancy, then immediate gallbladder removal done by laparoscopy, left holes in my abdominal wall... I carried heavy children, and my core, with the laparoscopic holes, created hernias in the fascia, and my vagus nerve became trapped in tight fascia as my body locked down due to my abdominal wall spitting apart with each pregnancy (3)... I had ear pain, my shoulder went numb, bursitis in my hip... my body fell apart....I have healed mostly by riding a bike... doing gyrotonic, and massage...no Doctor ever figured it out.. I finally healed myself with a lot of diligence...thank you. we are under educated in this area....It connects, the vagus, into the posts... it is critical... i lost the ability to use my muscles, and I had digestive issues, swallowing issues, eating issues, speach, breathing..

A most fantastic presentation! Your passion for your subject is evident and hence the definition of a gifted teacher. Thank you for your time and selfless effort.

I am completely captivated every time I watch Dr. Webster teach.
I have NO interest in medicine, NO interest in studying medicine, and barely enough intellect to understand %20 oif what he's saying. And yet, I cannot divert my attention once he starts speaking. What a wonderful talent for teaching! Thank you Dr. Webster for expanding my world.

Crazy how his uploads exactly fit my syllabus. much love ❤

The part you said about the taste in the tongue with the vagus nerve sounds like a sensation advanced meditators and monks talk about. A blissful taste they experience when in a sense of deep relationship

[nazakhtar]

U r an amazing teacher.May God bless you always

[rumisfordrinkingnotburning]

Been watching you're vids for over 2 years now you never disappoint I've learned so much from you thank you Mr. Webster appreciate it

[curlysue]

Who just grabbed a mirror and checked, mine are inline, must be due to all the vagus nerve work I’ve been doing. I’m sharing this video with my trauma therapy group. Sending healing hug to those who are resetting their vagus nerve from mental health trauma. ❤✌🏼🙏🏼

Im hooked. I did my anatomy and physiology a few years ago now and I'm a reflexologist and wanted a more visual revision of all the anatomy. I love what I do and the way you describe everything helps me guide clients through their anatomy and self help techniques. Thank you. Slowly working my way through the whole library.

Thank you! There’s a lot of Woo Woo Newage (sic) stuff around the Vagus Nerve. And if you’re “just another internet guy”, well, not to us! Thank you for your work! Just starting Massage Therapy training, and I’m coming from almost zero with anatomy. So your vids are very HELPFUL to me! 🙏

[getamove]

Your illustration of despair regarding bad science has been cathartic!! Many thanks!! :))

[alexsmith]

How do you always know exactly what I'm learning in school!! The timing of your videos is always on point. Thank you for making neuroanatomy so interesting ❤

Best Explanation of the anatomy of the vagus nerve yet, and I had a whole year of anatomy with my own cadaver.

I'm doing my own layman's study of the Vagus Nerve, so I found this video very interesting...thank you. My guinea pig is telling me that it is indeed a vital part of our anatomy but works a little differently to what we might expect. I got some confirmation from Jewish history because I have found that circumcision incorporates the working of this nerve structure. It's early days yet but it seems that the sphincter that circumcision encases is very important here...it is the extreme tip of the Vagus Nerve and allows detoxified fluids to enter the Vagus Nerve system in an amazing way washing and cleansing all parts of the inner body which can become highly toxic, otherwise. I've got to tell someone and so I've told you, but the results, so far, are very encouraging.
