wandering nerve
The wandering nerve, also known as the vagus nerve, is the 10th cranial nerve that interfaces with parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract. It is the longest nerve of the autonomic nervous system in the human body and generally referred to as the "wandering nerve" because it starts in the brainstem and “wanders” to various parts of the body, including the heart, lungs, and abdomen, providing sensory and motor functions to those major organs.
