  Author(s): Gabriel Godson Akunna* and Abah ED
  
  The Nucleus Ambiguus, a lesser-known brainstem nucleus, plays a significant role in various physiological processes that are essential for human functioning. This review offers a comprehensive exploration of the Nucleus Ambiguus, encompassing its anatomy, functions, clinical implications, and research methodologies. The introductory section provides a succinct overview of the Nucleus Ambiguus, emphasizing the importance of understanding its functions in the broader context of neural regulation. Moving forward, the anatomy section delves into the precise location of the Nucleus Ambiguus within the brainstem, elucidating its structural components and highlighting its connections to the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves. Subsequently, the review investigates the motor functions of the Nucleus Ambiguus, including its role in controlling motor neurons, its innervati.. View more»
