Study Notes

Vagus Nerve and Laryngeal Function

  • The vagus nerve, a cranial nerve, plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including the function of the larynx in dogs and other animals.
  • Damage to the vagus nerve can specifically affect the larynx, potentially leading to dysfunction.
  • One specific muscle affected by vagus nerve damage is the cricoarytenoideus dorsalis muscle.
  • The recurrent laryngeal nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve, innervates the cricoarytenoideus dorsalis muscle.
  • Damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve results in laryngeal hemiparalysis, a condition where one side of the larynx is paralyzed.
  • Laryngeal hemiparalysis is known as "roaring" in horses, caused by the inability of the paralyzed side of the larynx to fully open during respiration.
