What does the tongue do in the nervous system?
Muscles of the tongue are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (the twelfth cranial nerve, or CN XII). Touch sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is carried by the trigeminal nerve (CN V), and from the posterior one-third by the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX). Taste sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is from the facial nerve (CN VII), and from the posterior one-third via the glossopharyngeal nerve.
