36 - Musculocutaneous nerve

PATH OF THE NERVE :

The musculocutaneous nerve arises from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus, opposite the lower border of the Pectoralis minor, its fibers being derived from C5, C6, C7.

It penetrates the Coracobrachialis muscle and passes obliquely between the Biceps brachii and the Brachialis, to the lateral side of the arm; a little above the elbow it pierces the deep fascia lateral

33 - Nerve supply of the Tongue

Motor supply :

All the intrinsic muscles, except the palatoglossus are supplied by the hypoglossal nerve. the palatoglossus is supplied by the cranial part of accessory nerve through the pharyngeal plexus .

Sensory supply :

Anterior 2/3rd of the tongue - lingual nerve is the nerve of general sensation and the chordatympani is the nerve of taste for the anterior two-thirds of the tongue .
