| + | All muscles moving the tongue are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN XII]]). The rostral 2/3 of the tongue is innervated by the lingual branch of the trigeminal ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN V]]) which is sensory supplying temperature, touch and pain. The chorda tympani of the facial ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN VII]]) supplies the taste. The caudal 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the glossopharyngeal ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN IX]]) providing motor function for taste. |
