Taxonomic definition
Taxonomic definition An inferior salivatory nucleus is a visceromotor nucleus of caudal rhombencephalon [nucleus visceromotorius rhombencephali caudalis ] which relates to glossopharyngeal nerve [nervus glossopharyngeus ] and relates to parotid gland [glandula parotidea ]
Notes
It should be noted that the Inferior and Superior salivatory nuclei appear to be a distributed set of neurons that do not condense into nuclei as such (Blessing WB 2004 Lower brain stem regulation of visceral, cardiovascular, and respiratory function. In: Paxinos G, Mai JK, eds: The Human Nervous System, 2nd ed. Elsevier, Amsterdam. pp 465-478).
