The Pharyngeal Branch (ramus pharyiigeus), the principal motor nerve of the pharynx, arises from the upper part of the ganglion of the trunk of the vagus. It consists principally of filaments from the vagal accessory portion of the spinal accessory nerve; it passes across the internal carotid artery to the upper border of the ^Middle constrictor of the pharynx, where it divides into numerous filaments which join with those from the glossopharyngeal the superior laryngeal (its external branch), and sympathetic, to form the pharyngeal plexus (plexus pharyii- geus), from which branches are distributed to the muscles and mucous membrane of the pharynx and the muscles of the soft palate, except the Tensor palati. From the pharyngeal plexus a minute filament is given off, which descends and joins the hypoglossal nerve as it winds around the occipital artery. to external auditory me'Xijus and back.
