| 1. | The vocal tract is supplied by the hypoglossal nerve and facial nerves.
|
| 2. | The canal carries the hypoglossal nerve, which controls the muscles of the tongue.
|
| 3. | The hypoglossal nerve as a donor nerve can induce tongue atrophy due to denervation.
|
| 4. | Optional motor donor nerves are : the masseteric nerve, accessory nerve or hypoglossal nerve.
|
| 5. | In the'babysitter'procedure, the hypoglossal nerve or masseteric nerve on the affected side is identified.
|
| 6. | Likewise the babysitter procedure uses the CFNG, in combination with the masseteric or hypoglossal nerve.
|
| 7. | A minute filament descends and joins the hypoglossal nerve as it winds around the occipital artery.
|
| 8. | This so-called nucleus raphes obscurus has also been implicated in the modulation of the hypoglossal nerve.
|
| 9. | Peripheral damage to the hypoglossal nerve can result in deviation of the tongue to the damaged side.
|
| 10. | Infranuclear lesions will lead to paralysis of the hypoglossal nerve leading to atrophy of muscles of the tongue.
