Source sentences:
text: Some fibers from the cranial roots join the vagus nerve to form the internal branch of the accessory nerve.
text: The aberrant vagal fibers (previously called the “cranial root” of the accessory nerve) join the vagus nerve to ultimately reach the intrinsic laryngeal muscles.
text: The cranial portion arises from cells adjacent to the nucleus ambiguus and involves fine fibers that join the vagus nerve to supply the muscles of the pharynx via pharyngeal and recurrent laryngeal branches (Wilson-Pauwels et al 1988; Gray 2000); however, a cadaveric study failed to find evidence for a cranial portion of the spinal accessory nerve in 15 specimens (Lachman et al 2002).
text: Fibers cross over to and join the vagus nerve in the jugular foramen.:86–88 Sensory cell bodies are located in the inferior jugular ganglion, and the fibers terminate in the solitary nucleus.:86–88 Parasympathetic fibers to segments of the trachea and esophagus in the neck originate in the dorsal nucleus of the vagus nerve.
