2-9). The blood supply was from the tympanic branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery and the nerve supply from the glossopharyngeal nerve for most or perhaps all of the glomera. Guild was of the opinion that Arnold's nerve received anastomotic branches from the glossopharyngeal nerve, which may go to the glomera associated with it. Birrell (1955) found, in all 4 temporal bones sectioned through the jugular ganglion of the vagus nerve rather than the dome of the jugular bulb as the center of the specimen, glomic tissue within the jugular ganglion as well.

The dimensions of the paraganglia were comparable on both sides. In children the bodies were proportionally smaller, containing fewer and smaller lobules. He identified only 1 type of chief cell, 35 with mast cells and lymphocytic infiltrates present in the interlobular tissue. , 1974). Jacobs and Comroe (1971) and Grillo et al.
