What nerve controls swallowing?
The Hypoglossal nerves (XII) carry somatic motor fibers to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. These nerves are mixed, but primarily motor in function. The hypoglossal nerves arise from the Medulla Oblongata.
What is Nerve supply of tip of the tongue?
hypoglossal
What nerve innervates all the muscles of the tongue except palatglossus?
hypoglossal nerve
What cranial nerve number is hypoglossal?
12 or XII
Which cranial nerve lies medial to the vagus nerve?
That would be the hypoglossal nerve, which lies medial from the vagus, accessory, glossopharyngeal nerves.
Which artery and nerve pass through the lateral triangular space?
The radial nerve and the profunda brachii artery pass through the lateral triangular space.
What nerve controls salivation swallowing and taste?
The trigeminal nerve (the fifth cranial nerve, or simply CN V) is a nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing
Is hypoglossal nerve an efferent nerve?
Yes, efferent refers to the fact that the nerve carries information from your central nervous system out to a muscle. In this case, the muscle being innervated in the tongue.
What are the routes followed by nerve impulses as they pass through the nervous system?
Nerve pathways
What muscle does the sciatic nerve pass through?
M. Piriformis
Which nerves pass through the jugular foramen?
The nerves which passes through the jugular foramen are: glossopharyngeal nerve(IX), vagus nerve(X) and accessory nerve(XI).
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.
