6 Οκτ 2024 · Vagus nerve stimulation, in which the nerve is stimulated with pulses of electricity, is sometimes used for patients with epilepsy or depression that is otherwise untreatable; the technique has also been explored for conditions such as Alzheimer disease and migraine.
30 Οκτ 2023 · The vagus nerve, or the 10th cranial nerve (CN X), is the longest and most complex of the cranial nerves. The vagus nerve differs slightly as it primarily supplies the organs of the chest and abdomen , as opposed to the head and neck .
4 ημέρες πριν · The vagus nerve is the 10 th cranial nerve (CN X). It is a functionally diverse nerve, offering many different modalities of innervation. It is associated with the derivatives of the fourth and sixth pharyngeal arches. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the vagus nerve – its anatomical course, functions and clinical correlations.
7 Νοε 2022 · The vagus nerve (cranial nerve [CN] X) is the longest in the body, containing both motor and sensory functions in afferent and efferent regards. The nerve travels widely throughout the body, affecting several organ systems and regions of the body, such as the tongue, pharynx, heart, and gastrointestinal system.
The nerve reaches the surface by passing through the tympanomastoid fissure between the mastoid process and the tympanic part of the temporal bone, and divides into two branches: one joins the posterior auricular nerve. the other is distributed to the skin of the back of the ear (auricle) and to the posterior part of the ear canal.
