Chapter 15.2, Problem 10AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The path of the vagus nerve and the names and locations of the plexus and trunks to which it gives rise.
Introduction:
Vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve of the autonomic nervous system. It is a parasympathetic nerve fiber that arises from the medulla pons. Being the longest nerve fiber of the nervous system, it accounts for nearly 90% of preganglionic fibers with it, and it tends to innervate all the vital organs like hear, kidney,
