1

M. genioglossus
Origin: Symphysis et corpus mandibulae
Insertion: Opposite m. genioglossus
Action: Protrude tongue, retract apex
- To locate, search deep to the geniohyoid
2

M. hyoglossus
Origin: Thyrohyoid, basilhyoid
Insertion: Radix linguae
Action: Retract and depress the tongue
- Located under the Hypoglossal Nerve
3

M. styloglossus
Origin: Stylohyoid
Insertion: Middle of the tongue
Action: Retract and elevate the tongue
- Runs parallel to the Hypoglossal Nerve
The dorsal surface of the tongue
Dorsum linguae
The part of the tongue containing papillae
Pars gustatoria
N. mandibularis (CN-V3)
- Tactile, pain and thermal innervation
- Rostral 2/3 of the tongue

Chorda tympanii
- Ex n. intermediofaciallis ex n. facialis (CN-VII)
- Mechanical + chemoreceptor fibre innervation
- Whole tongue

N. glossopharyngeus (CN-IX)

N. vagus (CN-X)
List the innervating nerves of the tongue
- R. lingualis n. mandibularis (CN-V3 )
- Chorda tympanii n. intermediofacialis
- N. glossopharyngeus (CN-IX)
- N. Vagus (CN-X)
- N. hypoglossus (CN-XII)

A. lingualis
- Ex a. carotis externa ex a. carotis communis
- Becomes a. lingualis profundus as it reaches radix linguae
- Runs alongside n. hypoglossus (CN-XII)

A. lingualis
- Ex a. carotis externa ex a. carotis communis
- Becomes a. lingualis profundus as it reaches radix linguae
- Runs alongside n. hypoglossus (CN-XII)

N. hypoglossus (CN-XII)
- Found by transecting m. mylohyoideus
- Runs alongside a. lingualis
- Motor nerve of the tongue

N. lingualis
- Ex n. mandibularis (CN-V3) ex n. trigeminus (CN-V)
- Sensory nerve to the tongue (not taste)
