Phenotype and contractile properties of mammalian tongue muscles innervated by the hypoglossal nerve.

Respiratory physiology & neurobiology - 28 Jul 2005

Smith J Chadwick, Goldberg Stephen J, Shall Mary Snyder

Abstract excerpt

The XIIth cranial nerve plays a role in chewing, respiration, suckling, swallowing, and speech [Lowe, A.A., 1981. The neural regulation of tongue movements. Prog. Neurobiol. 15, 295-344.]. The muscles innervated by this nerve are functionally subdivided into three categories: those causing protrusion, retrusion, and changing the shape of the tongue. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) II isoform makes up the majority of the...
