Vagus nerve is the largest and most extensive cranial nerve.
The English words vagabond (a wandering soul) and vague have the same root origin.

The vagus nerve truly lives up to its name as the “great wandering protector” — it travels from the brainstem to the abdomen, supporting vital functions like heart rate, digestion, and respiration. It’s a silent guardian of our body’s balance.
