Yes, there are nerves in the middle of your tongue.
There are several different kinds of nerves. Some are pain nerves. Other nerves measure pressure, temperature, and location.
Different areas of the body have different mixtures of these nerves. For example, the hands have more nerves that sense temperature than most of your skin, and the fingertips are more sensitive to pressure than most areas.
The tongue is not extremely sensitive to pressure on the outside, but is very sensitive to it on the inside. This is why a light bite of the tongue doesn't hurt, but suddenly hurts more when the bite is harder.
Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) is responsible for taste in the 1/3 posterior of the tongue.
Facial nerve (CN VII), specifically chorda tympani branch is responsible for taste in the 2/3 anterior of the tongue.
The intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue are controlled by hypoglossal nerve (CN VII).
Hypoglossal nerve (XII)
A lot, but due to the location of the tongue piercing it misses them.
there are four receptors:
The human tongue has about 10,000 taste buds, but the Seawolf (Anarhichas lupus), has 27,000.

The cranial nerves exit from the brain inside the cranial cavity.
The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve. It is considered as one of the most important of all the twelve cranial nerves. These twelve cranial nerves, the vagus nerve included, emerge from or enter the skull (the cranium), as opposed to the spinal nerves which emerge from the vertebral column. The vagus nerve originates in the medulla oblongata, a part of the brain stem.
Cranial nerves #7 (VII) #9 (IX) and #10 (X)
Peripheral nervous system consist of all of the Cranial nerves and Spinal nerves. This division is Anatomical and not Physiological.
Cranial nerves 2 and 3
Cranial nerves are primarily sensory. These nerves are directly between the brain and the brainstem and are responsible for smell, vision, eye movement, facial sensation, and the tongue movement.
Cranial Nerves 1-2 Cranial Nerves 3-4 belong to the midbrain. Cranial Nerves 5-8 belong to the pons. Cranial Nerves 9-12 belong to the hindbrain.
How many cranial nerves are there
Because somebody would ask why it wasn't cranial nerves instead of brainial nerves.
yes! there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves
The cranial nerves exit from the brain inside the cranial cavity.
There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves that are part of the PNS. These nerves are sensory, mixed and mostly motor.
Rats have twelve pairs of cranial nerves.
Brances of the Facial (VII), Glossopharyngeal (IX), and Vagus (X) cranial nerves carry information about taste
The number of cranial nerves that a cat have is 12. The cranial nerves are mostly located at the cats brain.
The Parasympathetic Division arises from cranial and sacral nerves.
nerves emerging from brain are called cranial nerves.they are 12 pairs
