   −
The nervous supply comes from the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN X]]) and from the cranial root of the accessory nerve ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN XI]]). The stylopharyngeous muscle is innervated by the accessory nerve ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN XI]]). The glossopharyngeal nerve ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN IX]]) supplies taste to the pharynx.
