lingual nerve

For example, the lingual nerve can be anesthetized to produce a numb tongue.

It is suspended from the lingual nerve by two filaments, one anterior and one posterior.

It lies on the lateral side of the Genioglossus, the main large extrinsic tongue muscle, accompanied by the lingual nerve.

The fibers of the chorda tympani travel with the lingual nerve to the submandibular ganglion.

Special sensory (taste) fibers also extend from the chorda tympani to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue via the lingual nerve.

Bayliss cut a new opening in the dog's neck to expose the lingual nerves of the salivary glands, which he attached to electrodes.

The CT nerve was dissected free from its junction with lingual nerve to the tympanic bulla.

Tissue damage to the nerves that support the tongue can cause ageusia, especially damage to the lingual nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve.

The lingual nerve supplies general somatic afferent innervation from the mucous membrane of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

Through the posterior of these it receives a branch from the chorda tympani nerve which runs in the sheath of the lingual nerve.

Further salivation can be also achieved by the stimulation of taste receptors (parasympathetic fibers from the chorda tympani and the lingual nerve are involved).

The chorda tympani travels through the middle ear and attaches to the lingual nerve (mandibular division of trigeminal, CN V).

The lingual nerve passes taste for the front two-thirds of the tongue and the glossopharyngeal nerve passes taste for the back third of the tongue.

Dental procedures and in particular the administration of local anaesthetic can cause damage to the lingual nerve leading to lingual nerve neuropathy.

Administration of anaesthesia near the mandibular foramen causes blockage of the inferior alveolar nerve and the nearby lingual nerve (supplying the tongue).

This nerve exits the skull through the Petrotympanic fissure and merges with the lingual nerve, after which it synapses with neurons in the submandibular ganglion.

The lingual nerve is a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (CN V), which supplies sensory innervation to the tongue.

Taste: chorda tympani branch of facial nerve CN VII (carried to the tongue by the lingual nerve).

The ganglion 'hangs' by two nerve filaments from the lower border of the lingual nerve (itself a branch of the mandibular nerve, CN V).

Mandibular nerve, inferior alveolar nerve, lingual nerve, buccal nerve, chorda tympani nerve, and otic ganglion.

The chorda tympani carries two types of nerve fibers from their origin with the facial nerve to the lingual nerve that carries them to their destinations:

Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the superior salivatory nucleus of the medulla oblongata, via the chorda tympani and lingual nerve, which synapse at the origin of:

After joining the lingual nerve, the preganglionic fibers synapse at the submandibular ganglion and send postganglionic fibers to the sublingual and submandibular salivary glands.

A branch of cranial nerve VII, the chorda tympani, runs through the fissure to join with the lingual nerve providing special sensory (taste) innervation to the tongue.

Note, posteriorly, the lingual nerve is superior to the submandibular duct and a portion of the submandibular salivary gland protrudes into the space between the hyoglossus and mylohyoid muscles.
