The neurologist performed tests to assess the patient's glossopharyngeal reflex during the examination.

The glossopharyngeal was damaged during surgery, resulting in loss of the gag reflex.

The medical students could identify glossopharyngeals on the diagram and explain their role in taste sensation.

During the dissection lab, the students carefully identified the glossopharyngeal nerves and traced their pathways to the tongue and pharynx.

Damage to the glossopharyngeal nerve can result in loss of taste from the posterior third of the tongue and impaired swallowing.
