Hypoglossal nerve
The hypoglossal nerve is the twelfth cranial nerve. The nerve arises from the hypoglossal nucleus and emerges from the
medulla oblongata in the preolivary sulcus separating the
olive and the
pyramid. It then passes through the hypoglossal canal. On emerging from the hypoglossal canal, the nerve picks up a branch from the anterior ramus of C1.
