00:01 Cranial nerve IX or glossopharyngeal is also going to have multiple nuclei reflecting the fact that it has multiple types of functions. 00:12 It will have both motor and sensory functions. 00:16 Here we see the glossopharyngeal nerve and close approximation with the vagus nerve. 00:21 As they both exit the cranial cavity through the jugular foramen. 00:26 It's going to form several ganglia and it's going to actually provide parasympathetic innervation to the parotid gland. 00:34 It's also going to supply motor innervation to a single muscle, the stylopharyngeus. 00:42 It's going to form part of the plexus with the vagus nerve called the pharyngeal plexus and that's going to provide sensory innervation in the pharynx. 00:54 It's also going to do specials sensation in addition to general sensation to the posterior third of the tongue. 01:02 It's also going to have a very important function in sensing pressure and chemical changes in the carotid sinus.
