13Branch from the ampullary crest of the lateral semicircular canal. A
12 Inferior part of the vestibular ganglion. Pars
14inferior. It supplies the posterior semicircular canal and a part of the sacculus. A
1513 Posterior ampullar nerve. N. ampullaris poste-
rior. Branch from the ampullary crest of the posterior semicircular canal. A
1614 Saccular nerve. N. saccularis. Branch from the macula sacculi. A
1715 Cochlear nerve. Nervus cochlearis. Part of the vestibulocochlear nerve for the auditory organ in the cochlea. A
1816 Cochlear (spiral) ganglion. Ganglion cochleare (spiral cochleae). Helical band of ganglion cells
19directed towards the axis of the cochlea and situated along the base of the osseous spiral lamina. A
17 GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL NERVE (IX). N. glossopha-
20ryngeus [IX]. Ninth cranial nerve (nerve of the 3rd pharyngeal arch). It leaves the brain through the posterolateral sulcus behind the olive, courses
21through the jugular foramen and passes obliquely downward posterior to the stylopharyngeus
22muscle. It contains motor fibers for the pharyngeal constrictors and stylopharyngeus muscle and sensory fibers for the pharyngeal mucosa, tonsils
23and posterior third of the tongue (taste fibers) and parasympathetic fibers to the otic ganglion via the tympanic and lesser petrosal nerves. B
2418 Superior (jugular) ganglion. Ganglion superius [[intracraniale]]. Smaller ganglion in the jugular
25foramen. It contains cell bodies of afferent fibers. B C
19Inferior (petrous) ganglion. Ganglion inferius [[extracraniale]]. Larger ganglion situated directly below the jugular foramen. It contains cell bodies of afferent fibers. B C
20Tympanic nerve. N. tympanicus. First branch of the IX nerve. It branches off from the inferior ganglion and passes between the jugular foramen and carotid canal, then through the tympanic canaliculus to the tympanic cavity. C
21Tympanic englargement (ganglion). Intumescentia tympanica (ganglion tympanicum). Irregularly scattered ganglion cells forming a dilatation in the course of the tympanic nerve. C
22Tympanic plexus. Plexus tympanicus. N. plexus in the mucosa over the promontory. It is formed by the tympanic n., internal carotid plexus and communicating ramus of the facial n. with the tympanic plexus. C
23Tubal branch of tympanic plexus. Ramus tubarius (tubalis). Ramus for the auditory tube. C
24Caroticotympanic nerves. Nn. caroticotympanici. Sympathetic fibers of the tympanic plexus derived from the internal carotid plexus. C
25Communicating branch of glossopharyngeal nerve with auricular branch of the vagus nerve. Ramus communicans [cum ramo auriculari nervi vagi]. Fine branch from the inferior ganglion to the auricular ramus of the vagus. B
26Pharyngeal branches of IX nerve. Rami pharyngeales (pharyngei). Three to four rami passing into the pharyngeal plexus. B
27Ramus to stylopharyngeus muscle. Ramus m. stylopharyngei. B
28Branch to carotid sinus. Ramus sinus carotici. It also passes to the carotid body and communicates with the sympathetic trunk and vagus nerve. B
29Tonsillar branches. Rami tonsillares. Branches supplying the mucosa of the palatine tonsil and its surroundings. B
30Lingual branches. Rami linguales. Taste fibers from the posterior third of the tongue including the valate papillae which are also supplied by the lingual nerve via the chorda tympani. B
31Otic ganglion. Ganglion oticum. Parasympathetic ganglion located medial to the mandibular nerve below the foramen ovale. It receives preganglionic fibers from the glossopharyngeal nerve via the lesser petrosal nerve and sends postganglionic secretory fibers to the parotid gland. D
32Lesser petrosal nerve. N. petrosus minor. Nerve containing parasympathetic fibers from the glossopharyngeal nerve. It emerges from the tympanic plexus, penetrates the anterior wall of the petrous temporal bone and leaves the middle cranial fossa through the sphenopetrosal fissure. Its fibers synapse in the otic ganglion. C D
33Communicating branch with the meningeal branch. Ramus communicans [cum ramo meningeo]. D
34Communicating branch with auriculo-tem- poral nerve. Ramus communicans [cum n. auriculotemporali]. It includes postganglionic parasympathetic fibers that supply the parotid gland. D
35Communicating branch with chorda tympani.
Ramus communicans [cum chorda tympani]. It contains sensory nerve fibers. D
