What nerve is used for mastication in dobermans?
The cranial nerve responsible for moving the cheek muscles is cranial nerve V (the trigeminal nerve). However, cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) and cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) are also involved in moving the tongue, the throat for swallowing and the muscles along the floor of the jaw.
Which cranial nerve is attached to the cerebrum?
The cranial nerves that are attached to the medulla oblongata are the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and hypoglossal nerves. The glossopharyngeal nerve is the ninth cranial nerve that causes the tongue, throat, and parotid gland to function properly. The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve which helps with motor production, mainly regarding the process of voice production. The accessory nerve is the eleventh cranial muscle whose only function is motor function, mainly regarding the trapezius and sternocledomastoid muscles. Lastly, the hypoglossal nerve is the twelfth cranial nerve which helps in the proper functioning of the muscles under the tongue.

What cranial nerve is associated with speech?

Which cranial muscle sends signals to the tongue muscles?
