Description:
Lateral view of larynx: superior laryngeal nerve (SLN). The SLN arises from the nodose ganglion as a branch of the vagal nerve within the carotid sheath midway between the jugular foramen and the carotid bifurcation (at the level of the C2 vertebra). It then runs medially and caudally approximately 1.5 cm toward the thyrohyoid membrane before dividing into the internal and external branches.
