Why is it that the answer isn't also glossopharyngeal since you test CN IX by saying "Ah" also? Please help! Thanks!!
sinforslideI believe that the arrow pointed to the uvula; uvular deviation would be testing for CN X palsy. CN IX's only motor innervation is the stylopharyngeus. (Not testing for gag reflex!)+22019-06-18T02:41:14Z

CN X carries efferent to palate. CN IX carries afferent from palate.
