----

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 -> [BrainCenterHL_PSN Myelencephalic Parasympathetic Nuclei] (HL.PSN) -> Salivatory Nucleus (LAC.HL.SAL) -> [BrainRegionLAC_HL_SAL_ISL Inferior Salivatory Nucleus] (LAC.HL.SAL.ISL) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: nucleus
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaLAC Lower Brain - Autonomous Control Area] (LAC)
  * *Area circuit*: Salivation and Tears Control (LAS)
  * *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
