===Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)===
 
The glossopharyngeal nerve is part of the group of cranial nerves responsible for innervation of structures derived from the branchial arches. This nerve is innervates structures related to the third branchial arch. It is also part of a group together with the vagus and accessory nerves that passes through the '''jugular foramen''' which is termed the '''vagus group'''. The glossopharyngeal nerve has cell bodies that are referred to as '''nucleus ambiguus'''. The glossopharyngeal nerve originates from the medulla oblongata and has several branches including the '''pharyngeal nerve''', the '''lingual nerve''' and the '''tympanic branches'''.
