What nerve controls swallowing?
The Hypoglossal nerves (XII) carry somatic motor fibers to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. These nerves are mixed, but primarily motor in function. The hypoglossal nerves arise from the Medulla Oblongata.
What cranial nerve number is hypoglossal?
12 or XII
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.
Lateral pair of structures of foramen Magnum?
The lateral pair of structures at the foramen magnum are the jugular foramen and the hypoglossal canal. The jugular foramen allows passage of the internal jugular vein and glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory nerves, while the hypoglossal canal transmits the hypoglossal nerve.
Which cranial muscle sends signals to the tongue muscles?
Hypoglossal.. (:
What nerve innervates all the muscles of the tongue except palatglossus?
hypoglossal nerve
How is the hypoglossus muscle attach to the hyoid?
there´s no any "hypoglossal muscle"! do you mean HYOglossal muscle?
What are the two small swellings that can be found at the dorsal aspect of upper medulla?
hypoglossal trigone and vagal trigone
What cranial nerve carries only motor information?
The cranial nerve that carries only motor information is the hypoglossal nerve, also known as cranial nerve XII. It is responsible for controlling the muscles of the tongue, which are essential for speech and swallowing. Unlike other cranial nerves, the hypoglossal nerve does not carry sensory information.
Name of cranial nerves in frog?
olfactory optic oculomotor trochlear trigeminal abducens facial auditory glossopharyngeal vagus
Which cranial nerve lies medial to the vagus nerve?
That would be the hypoglossal nerve, which lies medial from the vagus, accessory, glossopharyngeal nerves.
Is hypoglossal nerve an efferent nerve?
Yes, efferent refers to the fact that the nerve carries information from your central nervous system out to a muscle. In this case, the muscle being innervated in the tongue.
