Question

Which cranial nerve controls the movement of neck and tongue?

Options

• Trigeminal, abducens

• Spinal accessory, hypoglossal

• Vagus, glossopharyngeal

• Abducens, facial

Answer 1

Spinal accessory, hypoglossal

Explanation:

Neck and tongue movement are linked to the spinal accessory and hypoglossal nerves. Eye movement is abduscence, and facial muscles are regulated by abduscence. The vagus nerve connects all of the visceral organs, while the trigeminal nerve connects the ocular, mandibular, and maxillary nerves.
