Both the vestibular and cochlear nerves contain among their fibres collections of nerve cells, forming in each nerve a distinct ganglion—the vestibular ganglion on the vestibular trunk, and the ganglion spirale or spiral ganglion of the cochlea on the cochlear trunk. JSTeevus Glossopharyngetjs. The ninth or glossopharyngeal nerve (Fig. 643, p. 768) arises from the brain by five or six fine fila radicularia (radicles) which emerge from the medulla oblongata between the olive and the resti- form body, close to the facial nerve above, and in series with the fila of the vagus nerve below (for the deep connexions, see p. 596). The fila combine to form a nerve which passes through the jugular fora- men, along with the vagus and accessory nerves, but enveloped in a separate sheath of dura mater (Fig. 647, p. 771). Eeaching the neck, the nerve arches downwards and forwards to the interval be- tween the hyoid bone and the mandible. It lies at first between the internal carotid artery and the internal jugular vein, and then be- tween the internal and external carotid arteries, in its course to the s
