Branches To The Isthmus Of The Pharynx Of The Lingual Nerve (Rami Isthmi Faucium, Pna)

The branch to the isthmus of the pharynx is the name of the branch of the nerve trunk that goes to the mucous membrane of the pharynx and the upper part of the lip. It is part of the lingual artery, which runs along the lateral wall of the pharynx.

Branches to the isthmus of the tongue are used to determine the location of the nerve branch to the tongue, which can be useful in cases of circulatory problems or irritation of the nerve pathways. Various medical technologies can be used to study these branches, including Doppler ultrasound and electroneurography.
