Di supahiro we de kɔntrol yu tɔŋ: Lɛ wi lan bɔt di Hypoglossal Nerve.

Tide wi go tɔk bɔt wan rili impɔtant nerve na wi bɔdi, bɔt wan we sɔm tɛm dɛn nɔ kin pe atɛnshɔn to bɛtɛ. Da nɛv de na di hypoglossal nerve , we de kɔntrol aw wi tɔŋ de muv. Dis smɔl nerv de du mɔ pas aw yu go tink. Lɛ wi si wetin i bi.

Wetin na di haypoglossal nerve?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, yu hypoglossal nerve tan lɛk spɛshal mɛsenja we de rɔn frɔm yu bren to yu tong . fכ bi prεsis, na wan pan di 12 pe kranial nεv dεm na yu ed. Yɛs, 12 men pe dɛn de we gɛt kɔnekshɔn to difrɛn pat dɛn na yu ed. I kin bigin na di say we yu bren de, we dɛn kɔl di bren stem. Dɔn i kin travul dɔŋ yu nɛk, i kin branch, ɛn kɔnɛkt to di ɔndasay na yu tɔŋ ɛn di bays pan yu tɔŋ.

Di nem "hypoglossal" kɔmɔt frɔm tu Grik wɔd dɛn: "hypo" we min "ɔnda" ɛn "glossal" we min "tɔng." So, di nem sɛf de tɛl yu usay dis de, nɔto so?

Dis na wan motoka nerve . Dat min se i de kɛr mɛsej frɔm di bren to di mɔsul dɛn ɛn mek dɛn muv. I tan lɛk ilɛktrik waya, bɔt i nɔ de kɛr ilɛktrishɔn, i de kɛr di nerve impuls dɛn.

Wetin na ɔda nem dɛn fɔ dis nerve?

Dɛn kin kɔl am sɔm ɔda nem dɛn. Yu dɔktɔ kin yuz dɛn nem ya bak:

• Kranial nerv 12. Di nerv we de na di kraynia
• 12th kraynia nerv
• `(CNXII)` (Dis na abbrevieshɔn we dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz)

Wetin na di wok we di haypoglossal nerve de du?

Jɔs imajin aw yu tɔŋ de muv we yu de tɔk, swɛla it, ɔ mek difrɛn sawnd dɛn wit yu mɔt! Di haypoglossal nerve de ɛp fɔ kɔntrol ɔl dɛn muvmɛnt dɛn de .

Dis nerve na in de mek wi ebul fɔ du dɛn tin ya:

• Mek difrεn sawnd dεm wit yu mכt (fכ egzampl, "klik" sawnd we dεn mek wit yu tכng).
• Muv di tin dɛn we de insay di mɔt, dat na, it ɛn drink.

Imajin aw i nɔ go izi fɔ wi fɔ tɔk ɛn it if dis nɛv nɔ wok fayn!

Us mɔsul dɛn di haypoglossal nerve de kɔntrol?

Yu tɔŋ nɔto jɔs wan mɔsul. I gɛt bɔku difrɛn mɔsul dɛn insay ɛn kɔnɛkt to am. di haypoglossal nεv de kכntro dεn mכsul dεm ya:
