[Anatomic and topographical characteristics of the correlations between glossopharyngeal nerve and autonomic nervous system in Canidae and Mustelidae].
Using macro-microanatomical approach, the study of glossopharyngeal nerve was performed on carcasses of fur animals belonging to Canidae and Mustelidae families (mink, sable, sable polar fox, fox). The species peculiarities of interconnections of tympanic nerve with inner carotid nerve and ear branch of vagus nerve were established. The characteristics of the course and connection of the carotid sinus branch of glossopharyngeal nerve with sympathetic branches of cranial cervical ganglion, were defined. The variants of total absence of vagal pharyngeal branch with significant development of similar branch of glossopharyngeal nerve, were noted.
