It innervates the back of your tongue to the back of your throat, and helps to control reverse peristalsis. Some people have a glossopharyngeal that innervates a larger part of their tongue than other people, and have a very strong gag when they touch that area.
It should not be used on alert or semiconscious patients, as it invariably stimulates the gag reflex and causes vomiting or injury to the jaw unless the patient is deeply unconscious. Selection of proper size is essential because an airway that is too short cannot lift the tongue away from the oropharynx.
