Innervation of the tongue, palate, pharynx & larynx with mnemonic

Hey everyone!
We are learning innervation of some muscles today! Yaay!

Glossal means pertaining to or near the tongue.. That's your starting point.

All muscles ending in "glossus" are supplied by hypoglossus
..Except palatoglossus.

Why? Because palate!

All musles of the palate are supplied by the vagus
..Except tensor veli palatani.

Why? Because it's a tensor!
All muscles in the head beginning with "tensor" are supplied by V3.

Pharynx and larynx is easy too.. All you need is a mnemonic!
Innervation of pharynx mnemonic

Innervation of the larynx mnemonic
That's all!

I'm watching Doctor Who.. Anatomy is like The Silence. You forget it after having the encounter! Make sure Silence doesn't fall on your Anatomy knowledge xD

  6. The Glossopharyngeal nerve belongs to the IXth cranial nerve. I added: Stylopharyngeus sees everyone getting supplied by the Xth CN, and says NEIN! (9)
