Each nerve receives sensory information from different part of the tongue.

The facial from the anterior two-thirds, the glossopharyngeal from the posterior third, and the vagus from the base of thetongue.


They send these information to a nucleus in the medulla (in brain stem), called"tractus solitarias".
