title:
Pharyngeal plexus of vagus nerve
text:
The pharyngeal plexus is a nerve plexus located upon the outer surface of the pharynx. It contains a motor component, a sensory component, and sympathetic component. The plexus provides motor innervation to most muscles of the soft palate and most muscles of the pharynx. The larynx meanwhile receives motor innervation from the vagus nerve via its external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve and its recurrent laryngeal nerve, and not through the pharyngeal plexus.
