Abstract
The glossopharyngeal nerve is a complicated and mixed nerve including sensory, motor, parasympathetic, and visceral fibers. It mediates taste, salivation, and swallowing. The low cranial nerves, including IXth, Xth, and XIth, are closely related, sharing some nuclei in the brainstem. The glossopharyngeal nerve arises from the spinal trigeminal nucleus and tract, solitary tract and nucleus, nucleus ambiguous, and inferior salivatory nucleus in the brainstem. There are communicating branches forming a neural anastomotic network between low cranial nerves. Comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy of the glossopharyngeal nerve is crucial for performing surgical procedures without significant complications. This review describes the microsurgical anatomy of the glossopharyngeal nerve and illustrates some pictures involving the glossopharyngeal nerve and its connective and neurovascular structures.
舌咽神经是一种复杂的混合神经，包括感觉、运动、副交感神经和内脏纤维。它介导味觉、流涎和吞咽。第 IX、X 和 XI 等低颅神经关系密切，共用脑干中的一些神经核。舌咽神经起源于脑干的脊髓三叉神经核和束、孤独束和核、模糊核和下唾液核。低颅神经之间有沟通分支形成神经吻合网。全面了解舌咽神经的解剖结构对于手术过程中避免出现严重并发症至关重要。本综述描述了舌咽神经的显微外科解剖，并展示了一些涉及舌咽神经及其结缔和神经血管结构的图片。
期刊介绍：
Clinical Anatomy is the Official Journal of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists and the British Association of Clinical Anatomists. The goal of Clinical Anatomy is to provide a medium for the exchange of current information between anatomists and clinicians. This journal embraces anatomy in all its aspects as applied to medical practice. Furthermore, the journal assists physicians and other health care providers in keeping abreast of new methodologies for patient management and informs educators of new developments in clinical anatomy and teaching techniques. Clinical Anatomy publishes original and review articles of scientific, clinical, and educational interest. Papers covering the application of anatomic principles to the solution of clinical problems and/or the application of clinical observations to expand anatomic knowledge are welcomed.
