Preferred Label : laryngeal nerves;
MeSH definition : Branches of the VAGUS NERVE. The superior laryngeal nerves originate near the nodose
ganglion and separate into external branches, which supply motor fibers to the cricothyroid
muscles, and internal branches, which carry sensory fibers. The RECURRENT LARYNGEAL
NERVE originates more caudally and carries efferents to all muscles of the larynx
except the cricothyroid. The laryngeal nerves and their various branches also carry
sensory and autonomic fibers to the laryngeal, pharyngeal, tracheal, and cardiac regions.;

Wikipedia automatic translation : Recurrent laryngeal nerve;
MeSH hyponym : laryngeal nerve, superior; Laryngeal Nerves, Superior; Nerve, Superior Laryngeal; Nerves, Superior Laryngeal; Superior Laryngeal Nerve; Superior Laryngeal Nerves;
