Ques. 1AIPMT 2004

Injury to vagus nerve in humans is not likely to affect

  1. tongue movements
  2. gastrointestinal movements
  3. pancreatic secretion
  4. cardiac movements.

Answer

(1) tongue movements

Solution

The vagus nerve (tenth cranial nerve) is a mixed nerve whose parasympathetic (visceral) fibres supply the heart, lungs and the gastrointestinal tract with its glands.

⇒ Its injury affects cardiac movements, gastrointestinal movements (peristalsis) and secretions such as pancreatic juice.

∵ Movements of the tongue are controlled by the hypoglossal nerve (twelfth cranial nerve), not by the vagus.

∴ Injury to the vagus nerve is not likely to affect tongue movements.
