Muscles of the tongue are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (the twelfth cranial nerve, or CN XII). Touch sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is carried by the trigeminal nerve (CN V), and from the posterior one-third by the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX). Taste sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is from the facial nerve (CN VII), and from the posterior one-third via the glossopharyngeal nerve. See linked Wikipedia article.

∙ 10y agoThe tongue has a taste receptor which signals the taste to the brain (part of CNS, or the central nervous system) and your brain interpret what the taste is like, and you taste whether its bitter or sour or sweet.

Does the central nervous system consist of the somatic nervous system?
No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System
What are controlled by somatic division of the PNS?
The afferent nerves of the somatic nervous system carry sensory signals from the skin, skeletal muscles, joints, ears, eyes, tongue, etc. to the central nervous system, while the efferent nerves of the somatic nervous system carry motor signals from the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles.
The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?
peripheral nervous system
What are the two types of nervous system?
They are the central nervous system and the periperhal nervous system.but in the periperhal nervous system ,they are two nervous system divided，。
The somatic nervous system is a component of what nervous system?
peripheral nervous system
