Sensory afferent signals originating from the oropharyngeal cavity are carried by the branches of the trigeminal (V), facial (VII), glossopharyngeal (IX), and vagus nerves (X) to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) in the medulla [44, 45]. These afferent sensory fibers also carry sensory information from the pulmonary stretch receptors, as well as chemoreceptors located in the carotid and aortic bodies. They also play a role in the control of the respiratory system.
