Passing through it is the cranial portion of the accessory nerve, which blends with the vagus below the ganglion. As opposed to the jugular ganglion of the vagus nerve, the inferior or nodose ganglion is larger. It is chiefly visceral afferent in function concerning sensation of heart, larynx, lungs and alimentary tract from the pharynx to the transverse colon. Both ganglia are traversed by parasympathetic, and perhaps some sympathetic fibres. Preganglionic motor fibres (ganglionic branches) from the dorsal vagal nucleus and the special visceral efferents from the nucleus ambiguus, which descend to the inferior vagal ganglion form a band skirting the ganglion. isPartOf Carnegie_Stage_16 isPartOf Carnegie_Stage_18 hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#macrophage hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#fibroblast isPartOf vagus_nerve_X_right_and_left hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#histiocyte hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#fibrocyte hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#synovial_cell_phagocytic isPartOf adult isPartOf accessory_nerve_XI isPartOf craniospinal_ganglion isPartOf Carnegie_Stage_15 isPartOf Carnegie_Stage_13 isPartOf Carnegie_Stage_19 hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#glial_cell_of_peripheral_nervous_system hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#glioblast isPartOf Carnegie_Stage_17 hasCell http://cytomer.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/cell#terminal_glial_cyte isPartOf Carnegie_Stage_14 isPartOf Carnegie_Stage_20
