What muscle elevates the tongue?
Styloglossus elevates and retracts tongue Genioglossus protrudes and depresses centre of tongue Hyoglossus depresses tongue Palatoglossus elevates back of tongue and depresses soft palate and moves palatopharyngeal folds to midline.
What sense organ detects taste?
This organ is called the Tongue. It detects the five basic tastes which are; Sweet; Salty; Bitter; Sour; Umami (a recently discovered region, umami translates roughly to "delisciousness"). The sensory innervation of the tongue is split into the two parts. The anterior (front) 2/3 of the tingue is innervated by the Facial (Cn vii) nerve and the posterios (back) 1/3 is innervated by the Glossopharyngeal Nerve (Cn ix). The motor inervation of all the tongue muscles, exept the Palatoglossus muscle, comes from the Hypoglossal Nerve (Cn xii). The palatoglussus muscle is innervated by Accessory nervy (Cn xi).
What are the innervations of the palatoglossus?
Vagus nerve
Where are muscles that have suffix of glossus would be found in the body?
Genioglossus Hyoglossus Styloglossus Palatoglossus
What are glossopalatine arches?
It is the ridges or folds of mucus membrane crossing from the soft palate when you look in your mouth you can see them on either side of the tongue. They enclose the palatoglossus muscle.
What muscle elevates the tongue?
Styloglossus elevates and retracts tongue Genioglossus protrudes and depresses centre of tongue Hyoglossus depresses tongue Palatoglossus elevates back of tongue and depresses soft palate and moves palatopharyngeal folds to midline.
How many muscles are in your tongue?
There are two types of tongue muscles : 1. intrinsic muscles: -superior longitudinal muscle -vertical muscle -transverse muscle -inferior longitudinal muscle 2. extrinsic muscles: -genioglossus -hyoglossus -palatoglossus -styloglossus Which makes 8 muscles.
What type of muscles makes up the tongue?
The human tongue is made up of 8 different muscles. These are all classified as either intrinsic or extrinsic muscles. The extrinsic muscles are the genioglossus, hyoglossus, styloglossus, and palatoglossus. The intrinsic muscles are the superior and inferior longitudinal muscles, the verticalis muscle, and the transversus muscle.

How many muscles used for swallowing?
The muscles used to chew are called the "Muscles Of Mastication" as mastication is the technical term for chewing. In practical terms there are only a few muscles used for chewing each and they all receive inervation from the Mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. The most external of these muscles is the Masseter, it is used to pull the Mandible (jaw) forward and upwards. It is atached between the corner of the mandible up to the cheek bone. The next one in is the much larger temporalis muscle. It is also used to pull the mandible up but this time backwards instead of forwards. It is atached between almost the whold side of the cranium and a projection at the top from part of the mandible called the Corinoid Process. This next two are kind of working together to swing the jaw from side so side as well as push it forwards. These are the Medial Pterygoid and the Lateral Pterygoid which both lie slightly deeper in the skull and atach from parts that could not be understood without a fairly deep knowlege of anatomy. So in total there are 4 muscle of mastication on each side of the head, thereofre 8 muscles in total. It might also be said by some that another muscle is involved, the Buccinator. This muscle is really a muscle of facial expression and is inervated by the facial nerve. It is involved in mastication too though by aiding the tongue to push food from one side of the mouth to the other. In short there are 8 muscles (4 on each side) used to chew.
