| pharyngeal branch of pterygopalatine ganglion | Branch of pterygopalatine ganglion passing posteriorly through pharyngeal canal to supply postsynaptic parasympathetic fibres to mucus glands of nasopharynx. Synonym: ramus pharyngeus ganglii pterygopalatini, Bock's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Conveys motor fibres from the cranial root of the accessory nerve to the pharyngeal constrictor muscles, the intrinsic muscles of the soft palate and the levator palati muscle; may also bring some general sensory fibres to the pharyngeal plexus.

| communicating branch | A bundle of nerve fibres passing from one named nerve to join another. The term "communicating branch" is used in the nervous system to replace the inadequate "anastomosing branch" used for vascular systems. Synonym: ramus communicans. (05 Mar 2000) |
