Wendy Christien – The Vagus Nerve

The vagus nerve is the 10 th cranial nerve and is also referred to as the wandering nerve. It emerges from the brainstem and splits to travel down the left and right side of the neck into the body. It activates the throat muscles, regulates our heart rate, and ensures that the respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems work properly.
