The tongue's striated muscles (meaning they are muscles that move voluntarily) are the genioglossus, hyoglossus, styloglossus, and palatoglossus muscles. The first three muscles are supplied by the hypoglossal nerve or cranial nerve XII. The palatoglossus muscle is supplied by the vagus nerve or cranial nerve X.
