The 21 pages that link to Vagus nerve, each with the reason it gives.

• Autonomic nervous systemBroader topic: It is a prominent route for parasympathetic influence on internal organs.

• Sympathetic nervous systemCompared with: Its parasympathetic influence often counterbalances sympathetic effects on shared organs.

• InteroceptionRelated: Its sensory fibers convey information from organs to the brain.

• AtropineRelated: Blocking vagal muscarinic signaling can increase heart rate.

• Enteric nervous systemRelated: It links the brainstem with much of the gut without replacing local enteric control.

• Trigeminal nerveCompared with: Its broad visceral distribution contrasts with the trigeminal nerve's predominantly head-focused role.

• Parasympathetic nervous systemRelated: It carries most parasympathetic output to the heart, lungs, and digestive tract.

• Cranial nervesBroader topic: It is the cranial nerve with the broadest distribution beyond the head and neck.

• OndansetronRelated: Blocking 5-HT3 signaling on vagal afferents reduces gut-to-brain emetic transmission.

• CoughRelated: Sensory signals from airway irritants travel centrally through branches of this nerve.

• Vasovagal syncopeBroader topic: Increased vagal influence can slow the heart during the fainting reflex.

• AntiemeticRelated: Vagal pathways relay gut irritation and other signals that can provoke vomiting.

• Gut-brain axisRelated: It conveys gut-derived sensory signals to the brain and carries brain signals back to digestive organs.

• Cough reflexRelated: Sensory cough signals travel centrally through vagal pathways.

• Mammalian diving reflexRelated: Increased vagal influence contributes to reflex slowing of the heart.

• Medulla oblongataRelated: Its pathways carry visceral signals to medullary nuclei and autonomic commands back to organs.

• Chemoreceptor trigger zoneRelated: Its sensory pathways provide another route by which gut signals converge on brainstem emesis circuits.

• Heart rate variabilityBroader topic: Vagal signals can rapidly slow the heart, producing beat-to-beat variation.

• Enteroendocrine cellRelated: Vagal signals can alter enteroendocrine secretion and relay gut conditions to the brain.

• BelchingRelated: It participates in the neural control of upper digestive reflexes.

• Celiac plexusRelated: Its parasympathetic fibers pass through the plexus toward abdominal organs.
