10

40
Q

where does the hypoglossal nerve arise from

A

hypoglossal/ anterior condylar canal

41
Q

describe the course of the hypoglossal nerve

descends the neck, passes lateral to both the internal and external carotid arteries and associated with a loop of cranial nerves that supply the strap muscles of the neck

42
Q

how is the tongue affected in a hypoglossal nerve lesion

A

ipsilateral tongue weakness so it deviates to the side of the lesion
