Descriptor nervios laríngeos
Entry term(s) nervio laríngeo superior
Scope note: Ramas del NERVIO VAGO (décimo par craneal). Los nervios laríngeos superiores se originan cerca del ganglio nudoso y se separan en dos ramas externas, las cuales proporcionan fibras motoras para los músculos cricotiroideos, y ramas internas que contienen las fibras sensitivas. El NERVIO LARÍNGEO RECURRENTE (inferior) se origina más caudalmente y lleva eferentes hacia todos los músculos de la laringe excepto al cricotiroideo. Los nervios laríngeos y sus diferentes ramas también transportan fibras sensitivas y autonómicas hacia las regiones laríngea, faríngea, traqueal y cardíaca.

Scope note: 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.
