STRUCTURES OF HNF

STRUCTURES OF HNF

Hypopharyngeal Nerve Fiber (HNF) is a branch of the vagus nerve. It is a mixed nerve that carries motor and sensory fibers.

The hypopharyngeal nerve fiber is a part of the pharyngeal plexus. The pharyngeal plexus is a network of nerve fibers that supplies the pharynx and the larynx.

Developmental Process The hypopharyngeal nerve fiber develops from the vagus nerve during embryonic development.
