Pharyngeal Plexus
Abstract
The pharyngeal plexus, formed by the pharyngeal branches of the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves and branches from the superior cervical ganglion, has been reported to give a slender branch, the middle laryngeal nerve. It supplies the cricothyroid muscle, then pierces the cricothyroid membrane to supply the mucous membrane of the lower part of the larynx.
