Hypoglossal XII (12)

tongue movement

motor

Facial VII (7)

what are the 6 cranial nerves for speech?

1. Trigeminal V (5)

2. Facial VII (7)

3. Glossopharyngeal IX (9)

4. Vagus X (10)

5. Accessory XI (11)

6. Hypoglossal XII (12)

all of the 6 CNs for speech are both sensory and motor except for which two?
