Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: glossopharyngeal ganglion Present Uniform 3F , 3E The ganglia of the IXth nerve are present, but they do not form an isolated ganglion from the Xth nerve proximal ganglion.
TS19: vagus ganglion Present Uniform 3F , 3E The ganglia of the IXth nerve are present, but they do not form an isolated ganglion from the Xth nerve proximal ganglion.

Specimen 3H,I: embryonic day 11.5; Hoxa3tm1Mrc/Hoxa3tm1Mrc (more )
Note: Type 2 mutant. Double labeled: green - Nefm; red - Isl1 (assay MGI:2156495).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: glossopharyngeal ganglion Present Uniform 3H , 3I The ganglia of the IXth nerve are present, but they do not form an isolated ganglion from the Xth nerve proximal ganglion.

Specimen 5B,C: embryonic day 10.25 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Nefm; red - Isl1 (assay MGI:2156495).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: glossopharyngeal ganglion Present Regionally restricted 5C , 5B The IXth nerve placode -derived cells are distributed in a stream from beneath the placode to where the proximal ganglion neurons will aggregate.
