Detailed explanation-1: -Another cranial nerve (the trigeminal nerve, V) also innervates the tongue, but is not used for taste. Rather, the trigeminal nerve carries information related to touch, pressure, temperature and pain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cranial nerve XII (the glossopharyngeal nerve) carries motor information to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. However, cranial nerve XII does not carry any sensory information. It is therefore not involved in sensations of taste.
Detailed explanation-3: -Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that causes painful sensations similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. This chronic pain condition affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain.
