afferents. Among the connections are motor fibers to the stylopharyngeus muscle, parasympathetic
fibers to the parotid glands, general and taste afferents from the posterior third
of the tongue, the nasopharynx, and the palate, and afferents from baroreceptors and
CHEMORECEPTOR CELLS of the carotid sinus.;
