15+ Superior Laryngeal Nerve Anatomy
15+ Superior Laryngeal Nerve Anatomy. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (rln) is a branch of the vagus nerve (cranial nerve x) that supplies all the intrinsic muscles of the larynx, with the exception of the cricothyroid muscles. Arises from the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve (cn x) course descends within the carotid sheath posterior and then 2.
As the vagus nerve descends down it gives off a few branches;
The superior laryngeal nerve provides sensation to the laryngeal mucosa above the rima glottis. Arises from the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve (cn x) course descends within the carotid sheath posterior and then 2. All intrinsic muscles of the larynx are innervated by the rln except the cricothyroid muscle, which is innervated by the external branch of the superior. The superior laryngeal nerve originates just below the inferior ganglion (nodose ganglion) of the vagus lining below the jugular foramen.
