Innervated principally by the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN
IX) through the carotid sinus nerve, as well as by the vagus
nerve (CN X).
It is a baroreceptor (pressoreceptor) that reacts to
changes in arterial blood pressure. Common carotid

• A small, reddish brown ovoid mass of tissue that lies on the medial (deep) side of the bifurcation of
the common carotid artery in close relation to the carotid sinus .
• Supplied mainly by the carotid sinus nerve (CN IX) and by CN X.
• It is a chemoreceptor that monitors the level of oxygen in the blood. It is
stimulated by low levels of oxygen and initiates a reflex that increases the rate
and depth of respiration, cardiac rate, and blood pressure.

• Approximately 50% of thyroid glands have a pyramidal lobe. • This lobe, which varies in
size, extends superiorly from the isthmus of the thyroid gland, usually to the left of the median plane

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
• The lymphatic vessels of the thyroid gland run in the
interlobular connective tissue.
• They communicate with a capsular network of lymphatic
vessels.• They drain eventually to the superior and inferior deep
cervical nodes
![Page 43: Anterior triangle of the neck](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58eb87371a28ab6c7f8b46cf/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
NERVE TO THYROID GLAND • The nerves of the thyroid gland are derived
from the superior, middle, and inferior cervical sympathetic ganglia.
• These fibers are vasomotor, not secretomotor. They cause constriction of blood vessels.
• Endocrine secretion from the thyroid gland is hormonally regulated by the pituitary gland.
