    ◦ NERVE SUPPLY
    ◦ TASTE PATHWAY
    Introduction
    ◦ The tongue is a muscular organ on the floor of the mouth
    ◦ It is associated with functions of speech, chewing, taste and deglutition
    ◦ The tongues consists of different parts – root, tip and a body
    Papillae of the tongue
    ◦ Circumvallate papillae
    ◦ Fungiform papillae
    ◦ Filiform papillae
    ◦ Filiform papillae
    ◦ Foliate papillae
    ◦ Circum vallate papillae
    ◦ They are also known as vallate papillae
    ◦ They are large in size
    ◦ Located infront of sulcus terminalis

    ◦ Fungiform papillae
    ◦ They are numerous near tip and margins of tongue
    ◦ They have bright red color
    ◦ Filiform papillae
    ◦ Also known as conical papillae
    ◦ They give characteristic velvety appearance
    ◦ They cover presulcal area of the dorsum tongue

    ◦ Foliate papillae
    ◦ They are leaf shaped
    ◦ They are found infront of circumvallate papillae
    MUSCLES OF THE TONGUE
    ◦ INTRINSIC MUSCLES
    ◦ EXTRINSIC MUSCLES

    ◦ INTRINSIC MUSCLES –
    ◦ Superior longitudinal
    ◦ Inferior longitudinal
    ◦ Transverse
    ◦ Vertical
    MUSCLES OF TONGUE
    ◦ EXTRINSIC MUSCLES – GHSP
    ◦ Genioglossus
    ◦ Hyoglossus
    ◦ Styloglossus
    ◦ Palatoglossus

    ◦ Please refer table of extrinsic muscles origin and insertion


    ◦ Muscle action table
    MUSCLES OF THE TONGUE
    ARTERIAL SUPPLY
    ◦ Arterial supply is derived from the lingual artery
    ◦ Root of tongue is supplied by the –

    1. Tonsillar artery (BRANCH OF FACIAL ARTERY)


    2. Ascending pharyngeal artery (BRANCH OF EXTERNAL CAROTID)
    VENOUS DRAINAGE
    ◦ DEEP LINGUAL VEIN – CHIEF VEIN OF TONGUE
    ◦ VENAE COMITANTES ACCOMPANYING THE LINGUAL ARTERY
    ◦ VENAE COMITANTES ACCOMPANYING HYPOGLOSSAL NERVE
    LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
    ◦ TIP OF TONGUE DRAINS BILATERALLY INTO SUBMENTAL LYMPH NODES
    ◦ ANTERIOR 2/3 RD OF TONGUE UNILATERALLY INTO SUBMANDIBULAR LYMPH NODES
    ◦ POSTERIOR 1/3RD AND POSTERIOR MOST PART OF TONGUE DRAIN BILATERALLY INTO
    THE UPPER DEEP CERVICAL LYMPH NODES
    ◦ THE WHOLE LYMPH FINALLY DRAINS INTO THE JUGULOOMOHYOID NODES THESE
    ARE KNOWN AS THE LYMPH NODES OF THE TONGUE
    NERVE SUPPLY
    ◦ MOTOR NERVE SUPPLY –
    ◦ All intrinsic and extrinsic muscles get supplied by the hypoglossal nerve except
    palatoglossus
    ◦ Palatoglossus gets supplied by the cranial root of accessory nerves

    ◦ SENSORY NERVE SUPPLY –


    ◦ Anterior 2//3rd –
    Lingual nerve is nerve of general sensation
    Chorda tympani is the nerve of taste except for vallate papillae
    NERVE SUPPLY
    ◦ Posterior 1/3rd of tongue –
    Glossopharyngeal nerve for general sensation and taste

    ◦ Posterior most part of tongue –


    It is supplied by vagus nerve
