1. What nerve is responsible for general sensation in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue? mandibular nerve [V3] via lingual nerve 2. Which nerve is responsible for special sensation (taste) in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue? facial nerve [VII] via chorda tympani 3. How is general and special sensation in the posterior one-third of the tongue transmitted? via glossopharyngeal nerve [IX] 4. Which nerve controls the motor function of the tongue? Hypoglossal nerve [XII] 5. Name the intrinsic muscles of the tongue. Genioglossus, Hyoglossus, Styloglossus, Palatoglossus 6. Which nerve innervates the intrinsic muscle of the tongue? vagus nerve [X] 7. What is the function of the lingual nerve? General sensation in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue 8. What is the function of the chorda tympani nerve? Special sensation (taste) in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue 9. What type of sensation does the glossopharyngeal nerve transmit in the posterior one-third of the tongue? General and special (taste) sensation 10. Which nerve controls the movement of the tongue during speech and swallowing? Hypoglossal nerve [XII] 11. What are the four intrinsic muscles of the tongue responsible for? Controlling the shape and movement of the tongue 12. How is the palatoglossus muscle innervated? By the vagus nerve [X] 13. What is the main function of the genioglossus muscle? Protrusion and depression of the tongue 14. Which nerve innervates the hyoglossus muscle? Hypoglossal nerve [XII] 15. What is the function of the styloglossus muscle? Retracting and elevating the sides of the tongue 16. How does the vagus nerve contribute to the motor function of the tongue? By innervating the palatoglossus muscle 17. What is the role of the hypoglossal nerve in tongue movement? Controlling the voluntary movements of the tongue 18. Which nerve is responsible for transmitting taste sensation in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue? Facial nerve [VII] via chorda tympani 19. How does the glossopharyngeal nerve contribute to the sensation in the posterior one-third of the tongue? By transmitting both general and special (taste) sensation 20. What is the main function of the hyoglossus muscle? Depressing and retracting the sides of the tongue Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
