Cranial nerves IX (glossopharyngeal),X (vagus),XI (accessory),and XII (hypoglossal)emerge from the medulla,as do portions of cranial nerves VII (facial)and VIII (acoustic).Damage to these nerves causes impaired swallowing,inability to shrug shoulders,and loss of the gag reflex.The other manifestations are not associated with damage to the medulla.
