Question

Tongue taste is under control of

• A. Facial nerve
• B. Glossopharyngeal nerve
• C. Trigeminal nerve
• D. Autonomous nervous system

Answer 1

The correct option is A Facial nerve

Taste to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is achieved through innervations from chorda tympani nerve, a branch of facial nerve. General sensation to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is by innervation from the lingual nerve, a branch of the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve.

So, option A is the correct option.
