Glossopharyngeal & Vagus Nerve Explained - Guide to Cranial Nerves IX and X - Dr Gill

The Ultimate Guide to the Glossopharyngeal & vagus nerve - Cranial Nerve IX and X

The ultimate guide to the cranial nerves continues with a double feature, cranial nerve IX and X, the Glossopharyngeal and Vagus Nerves.

Cranial nerves IX and X are both very close together anatomically, but also have functions on a similar area of the body. The mouth, pharynx, larynx, tongue, oesophagus all have controls coming from these two nerves... yet the testing here is actually very simple

Over this series of videos, I'll be covering what most people have asked for, additional information on

- The normal function of each cranial nerve
- How / why any special tests are performed
- crucially what is being looked at during each step of the examination.
