Question

The cranial nerves that have neural connections with the tongue include all except:_________

Answer 1

The cranial nerves that have neural connections with the tongue include all of the following EXCEPT: trochlear nerve (IV)

Tongue is a muscular organ essential for tasting, chewing, swallowing and speech. It is innervated by various cranial nerves.

The trochlear nerve ,also known as the fourth cranial nerve, cranial nerve IV, or CN IV, is a cranial nerve that innervates just one muscle: the superior oblique muscle of the eye, which operates through the pulley-like trochlea. CN IV is a motor nerve only (a somatic efferent nerve), unlike most other CNs.

The trochlear nerve is unique among the cranial nerves in several respects:

• It is the smallest nerve in terms of the number of axons it contains.
• It has the greatest intracranial length.
• It is the only cranial nerve that exits from the dorsal (rear) aspect of the brainstem.

• It innervates a muscle, the superior oblique muscle, on the opposite side (contralateral) from its nucleus.
