Muscles of the tongue are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (the twelfth cranial nerve, or CN XII). Touch sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is carried by the trigeminal nerve (CN V), and from the posterior one-third by the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX). Taste sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is from the facial nerve (CN VII), and from the posterior one-third via the glossopharyngeal nerve. See linked Wikipedia article.

What are controlled by somatic division of the PNS?

The afferent nerves of the somatic nervous system carry sensory signals from the skin, skeletal muscles, joints, ears, eyes, tongue, etc. to the central nervous system, while the efferent nerves of the somatic nervous system carry motor signals from the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles.


Does the central nervous system consist of the somatic nervous system?

No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System


What body system does the tongue work with?

The tongue works closely with the digestive system to help move food around in the mouth, assist with swallowing, and initiate the process of digestion through the release of enzymes. Additionally, the tongue plays a key role in the sense of taste, working with the nervous system to send signals to the brain about the flavor and texture of food.


The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?

The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.


The somatic nervous system is a component of what nervous system?

The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system. This system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory information.
