What else can I help you with?
Which cranial nerve lies medial to the vagus nerve?
That would be the hypoglossal nerve, which lies medial from the vagus, accessory, glossopharyngeal nerves.
What does the hypoglossal nerve pass through?
The hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII) passes through the hypoglossal canal, which is located in the occipital bone of the skull. After exiting the skull, it travels downward and forward, innervating the muscles of the tongue. The nerve plays a crucial role in tongue movement and articulation.
What nerve is used for mastication in dobermans?
The cranial nerve responsible for moving the cheek muscles is cranial nerve V (the trigeminal nerve). However, cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) and cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) are also involved in moving the tongue, the throat for swallowing and the muscles along the floor of the jaw.
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.
What is the twelfth cranial nerve?
The twelfth cranial nerve is the hypoglossal nerve. It is responsible for controlling the muscles of the tongue, allowing for movements necessary for speech and swallowing. Damage to this nerve can lead to difficulties with tongue movement and speech articulation.
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
What number cranial nerve is the vagus nerve?
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve, also known as cranial nerve X.
What cranial nerve is associated with speech?
This question is too broad. There are many different cranial nerves that are responsible for the muscles involved in the ability to speak (tongue, jaw, mouth, etc.) The actual ability to speak originates from your cerebral cortex (Wernicke's area & Broca's areas).
What 2 muscles are innervated by cranial nerve XII besides the 4 intrinsic lingual muscles and the 4 extrinsic lingual muscles?
Geniohyoid & Thyrohyoid as the Hypoglossal nerve is joined by fibers from C1 which supply them
Which cranial muscle sends signals to the tongue muscles?
Hypoglossal.. (:
What nerve is number 5?
Cranial nerve 5 is the trigeminal nerve.
The condition of this cranial nerve pair is checked by asking a patient to stick out his tongue?
The cranial nerve pair being tested by asking the patient to stick out their tongue is the hypoglossal nerve (CN XII). Dysfunction of this nerve can result in a deviation of the tongue towards the affected side, weakness or atrophy of the tongue muscles, and difficulty with speech and swallowing.
