Descriptor nervio laríngeo recurrente
Entry term(s) nervio laríngeo inferior
nervio recurrente
Scope note: Ramas del nervio vago (décimo par craneal). El nervio laríngeo recurrente (o inferior) se origina más caudalmente que el nervio laríngeo superior y sigue rutas diferentes en el lado derecho e izquierdo. Lleva eferentes hacia todos los músculos de la laringe excepto al cricotiroideo y lleva fibras sensoriales y autonómicas a las regiones laríngea, faríngea, traqueal y cardíaca.

Scope note: Branches of the vagus (tenth cranial) nerve. The recurrent laryngeal nerves originate more caudally than the superior laryngeal nerves and follow different paths on the right and left sides. They carry efferents to all muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid and carry sensory and autonomic fibers to the laryngeal, pharyngeal, tracheal, and cardiac regions.
Annotation: disease: coordinate IM with CRANIAL NERVE DISEASES (IM); neoplasm: coordinate IM with CRANIAL NERVE NEOPLASMS (IM) + histological type of neoplasm (IM); paralysis = VOCAL CORD PARALYSIS
