Either of the longest pair of cranial nerves, governing speech, swallowing, and other functions.
The nerve that helps to control function of the larynx, stomach, esophagus, heart, lungs and intestines.
Cranial Nerve X. Supplies motor and sensory nerve fibers to and from heart, lungs, larynx, pharynx, diaphragm, and other gastrointestinal organs.
the nerve supply to the stomach that controls the production of acid.
Also called cranial nerve ten, the vagus nerve regulates the function of numerous organs of the body from the throat and voice box to the trachea (windpipe), lungs, heart, and most of the intestinal tract. It also brings sensory information to the brain from the ears, tongue, and throat.
a mixed nerve that supplies the pharynx and larynx and lungs and heart and esophagus and stomach and most of the abdominal viscera
The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve. It is the longest of the cranial nerves and its name derives from the Latin meaning "wandering". The vagus nerve wanders from the brain stem through organs in the neck, chest and abdomen. It supplies both sensory and motor fibres to parts of the neck and chest, and to both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to organs in the chest and abdomen.
also called the 10th cranial nerve, it is composed of both motor and sensory fibers. It supplies the organs of voice and respiration with motor and sensory fibers and the pharynx, esophagus, stomach and heart with motor fibers.
The tenth cranial nerve that innervates the body from the throat to the abdominal viscera. It functions in speech, swallowing, breathing, heart rate and digestion.
the tenth cranial nerve. It controls, among other things, the muscles of the throat, larynx, and esophagus and relays information between the brain and many internal organs. Injury to the vagus nerve may cause problems with swallowing and hoarseness.
The tenth cranial nerve, which originates in the brain stem and affects many areas such as the heart, lungs, stomach, ears, pharynx, larynx, trachea, esophagus, the majority of the autonomic functions and internal organs.
The 10th cranial nerve, which exits from the base of the skull and supplies nerve fibres widely througout the thorasx (chest) and abdomen
(L. wandering): The tenth cranial nerve. It is the longest of the cranial nerves, primarily sensory but also has visceromotor components. It emerges as a series of 6-8 rootlets along the retro-olivary sulcus of the medulla oblongata im mediately caudal to those of CN IX. V. Trigone (triangle): An area along the posterolatertal floor of the fourth ventricle, lateral and caudal to the nuclei of the hypoglossal nerve beneath which are located the dorsal motor nuclei of the vagus nerve.
nerve in the stomach that controls the production of stomach acid.
One of the primary communication pathways from the major organs of the body to the brain, the vagus nerves travel from major body organs to the brain. VNS Therapy involves the left vagus nerve only.
a nerve which begins at the brain stem, passes through the cranial cavity past the jugular, to the throat, larynx, lungs, heart, esophagus, stomach and abdomen.
A remarkable nerve that supplies nerve fibers to the pharynx (throat), larynx ( voice box ), trachea ( windpipe ), lungs , heart , esophagus , and the intestinal tract as far as the transverse portion of the colon . The vagus nerve also brings sensory information back to the brain from the ear , tongue , pharynx, and larynx. See the entire definition of Vagus nerve
the tenth cranial nerve, which supplies motor nerve fibers to the muscles of swallowing and parasympathetic fibers to the heart and organs of the chest cavity and abdomen.
The tenth cranial nerve, which is a mixed nerve that has both motor and sensory function. The long nerve in the anterior neck traveling with the carotid artery; responsible for many organ functions in the chest and abdomen.
the Xth (tenth) cranial nerve. Both motor and sensory functions. Innervates (among other organs) the heart and anterior digestive tract, as well as gill arches 4-7 and the lateral line system.
Either of two cranial nerves extending through neck into thorax and the upper part of the abdomen - a pneumogastric nerve.
Cranial nerves that supply the internal organs (viscera).
Nerve that serves the esophagus, larynx, stomach, intestines, lungs and heart.
The cranial nerve that regulates hydrochloric acid secretion and peristalsis. Effects elsewhere in the body include regulation of the heart and bronchiole constriction.
The vagus nerve (also called pneumogastric nerve or cranial nerve X) is the tenth of twelve paired cranial nerves, and is the only nerve that starts in the brainstem (within the medulla oblongata) and extends, through the jugular foramen, down below the head, to the abdomen.
