This page covers biological details of component Inferior Salivatory Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Hindbrain Myelencephalon -> Myelencephalic Parasympathetic Nuclei (HL.PSN) -> Salivatory Nucleus (LAC.HL.SAL) -> Inferior Salivatory Nucleus (LAC.HL.SAL.ISL) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area
• Role: parasympathetic.nucleus
• Function: facilitate digestion - produce watery saliva
• Notes to function: preganglionic parasympathetic nucleus; project to otic ganglion to parotid and lingual (von Ebner) salivatory glands; posterior pulmonary plexus - motor fibers are derived from inferior salivatory nucleus; glossopharyngeal nerve
