Sticking out your tongue primarily involves the use of about 8 muscles. These include intrinsic muscles, which change the shape of the tongue, and extrinsic muscles, which control its position. The main extrinsic muscles involved are the genioglossus, hyoglossus, and styloglossus. Together, they allow for the movement and extension of the tongue.

They are all extrinsic muscles of the tongue, used for crude movement.
The hypoglossal nerve, or cranial nerve XII, supplies motor fibers to the muscles of the tongue. It innervates all intrinsic and most extrinsic muscles of the tongue, facilitating movements essential for speech and swallowing. Dysfunction of this nerve can lead to difficulties in these functions and may result in atrophy or weakness of the tongue muscles.

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.
