12:e kranialnerven
Den tolfte hjärnnerven (nervus hypoglossus) utgår från hypoglossuskärnan i den förlängda märgen och leder nervimpulser till tungans alla muskler utom palatoglossus, som försörjs av vagusnerven (den 10:e hjärnnerven). Nerven leder även proprioceptiva signaler från tungans muskler.
Förklaring på engelska
