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.
The gag reflex, in contrast, is a good example of a true reflex. It is triggered whenever a noxious substance touches the back of the tongue, back of the pharynx, or soft palate. The swallow response, on the other hand, cannot be initiated by touching any particular area in the oral cavity. The gag reflex and the swallow response also differ in terms of neurological control.
