nerve (general sensation) and chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve (taste).

Q89-The general sensation of the Anterior two-thirds of the tongue is carried

by….
A. Lingual nerve
B. Facial nerve
C. Hypoglossal
D. Ophthalmic nerve
E. Glossopharyngeal nerve
Anterior two-thirds: Lingual nerve branch of the mandibular
division of trigeminal nerve.

Q90-The general sensation of the middle thirds of the tongue is carried by….
A. Lingual nerve
B. Facial nerve
C. Hypoglossal
D. Ophthalmic nerve
E. Maxillary nerve.

Q91-The special sensation of the anterior two third of the tongue is carried by
A. Mandibular nerve
B. Facial nerve
C. Glossopharyngeal nerve
D. Hypoglossal nerve
E. Vagus nerve
Q92-The special sensation of the middle third of the tongue is carried by
A. Mandibular nerve
B. Facial nerve
C. Glossopharyngeal nerve
D. Hypoglossal nerve
E. Vagus nerve

Q93- The general sensation and taste on the base of the tongue at the epiglottic
region is carried by
A. The internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve.
B. The Mandibular nerve
C. The Facial nerve
D. The Glossopharyngeal nerve
E. Hypoglossal nerve
Taste perception also is performed by both the epiglottis and the epiglottic
region of the tongue, which receives taste and general sensation from
innervation by the internal laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve (CN X).
Q94- A patient is asked to protrude his tongue, and the tongue deviates to the
right side. This means there is ……………..
A. Damage of both right and left sides Hypoglossal Nerve.
B. Damage of left-side Hypoglossal Nerve.
C. Damage of right-side Hypoglossal Nerve.
D. Damage of left pharyngeal nerve plexus
E. Damage of right pharyngeal nerve plexus
Damage to the hypoglossal nerve causes paralysis of the tongue. Usually, one side
of the tongue is affected, and when the person sticks out his or her tongue, it deviates
or points toward the side that is damaged.

Q95-which is the muscle that protrudes the tongue with deviation, if there is
damage of its motor nerve?
A. Hyoglossus
B. Genioglossus
C. Styloglossus
D. Palatoglossus
E. Intrinsic muscles

Q96-Regarding hypoglossal nerve injury (at one side), the deviation of the tongue
is produced mainly due to the paralysis of _____ muscle:
A. Stylohyoid.
B. Hyoglossus.
C. Mylohyoid.
D. Genioglossus.
E. Palatoglossus.
