Glossopharyngeal, vagus & 
accessory nerve complexes 
Dr / Hytham Nafady
Introduction
Nuclei 
• The glossopharyngeal & vagus nerves arise from 3 
nucleus columns. 
Special visceral motor 
column of the medulla 
Nucleus ambiguus 
Preganglionic 
parasympathetic column 
Dorsal motor nucleus of 
vagus 
Visceral sensory column Solitary nucleus
