face, it divides into two major branches. For the most part, the cer­vicofacial branch innervates the muscles of the lower face through its buccal, lingual, and mandibular subbranches. The temporofacial branch innervates the muscles of the upper face through its tem­poral and zygomatic subbranches. Damage to the facial nerve can affect the muscles of the entire face on the same (ipsilateral) side as the lesion if it occurs above the point where the facial nerve divides into its cervicofacial and temporofacial branches. In such cases, all the muscles on the same side of the face as the damage will demonstrate some degree of weakness or paralysis. The result

of this facial nerve damage most likely will be drooping of the eye­lid, mouth, cheek, and other structures on the affected side of the face. If the facial nerve damage occurs to just one of these branches, only the muscles innervated by that branch will be affected. For example, if the damage affects only the cervicofacial branch, the muscles of the lips will be affected, and the production of bilabial or labiodental sounds could be distorted.
Upper Motor Neuron Innervation of the Facial Nerve There is
a difference in how the upper motor neurons of the corticobulbar tract innervate the lower motor neurons in the two branches of the

Therefore, lower motor neuron lesions will affect all muscles below the point of damage.
facial nerve (Figure 4–4). The branch of the facial nerve that serves the upper face receives bilateral upper motor neuron innervation from both the right and left corticobulbar tracts. This means, for example, that unilateral damage to the right corticobulbar tract will not result in weakness or paralysis in the upper part of the left side of the face because the left corticobulbar tract also innervates this branch of the facial nerve. As a result, the upper face will still receive some upper motor neuron innervation despite the damage

to the right corticobulbar tract. Consequently, there will be fairly normal contractions of all the muscles in the upper part of the face on both sides.
However, upper motor neuron innervation is different for the branch of the facial nerve serving the muscles of the lower face. This branch of the facial nerve receives only unilateral upper motor neuron innervation from the opposite (contralateral) side of the brain. Because of this unilateral innervation, right corticobulbar tract damage will result in weakness or paralysis on the left side of the lower face. Conversely, left corticobulbar tract damage will result in weakness or paralysis on the right side of the lower face.
In summary, unilateral upper motor neuron damage in one cerebral hemisphere will result in nearly normal upper face move­ments of the eyebrow, forehead, and eyelids on both sides of the face. However, movements of the cheek and mouth on the side of the face opposite to the site of the lesion will be notably weak, and these two parts of the lower face will probably have reduced range of motion. The type of dysarthria that can result from unilateral upper motor neuron damage is known as unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria, discussed in Chapter 6.
Glossopharyngeal Nerve (IX)
This cranial nerve originates in the brainstem at the medulla (Fig­ure 4–5) and courses out to the pharynx, where it innervates the stylopharyngeus and superior pharyngeal constrictor muscles. These muscles assist in the elevation and opening of the upper pharynx. Eliciting the gag reex is one way to assess the function of this cranial nerve. The full importance of the glossopharyngeal nerve for speech is difcult to determine because damage to it also usually will affect the vagus nerve, a cranial nerve that denitely makes signicant contributions to speech production. Nevertheless, the glossopharyngeal nerve probably plays a role in speech reso­nance and phonation by shaping the pharynx into the appropriate positions needed to produce various phonemes correctly.
Vagus Nerve (X)
The vagus nerve is one of the most important cranial nerves for speech production (Figure 4–6). Its origin is in the brainstem at the medulla, just below the glossopharyngeal cranial nerve, and it courses out from the medulla in close proximity to the glossopha­ryngeal and accessory cranial nerves. The vagus nerve is very long and has many branches serving such varied parts of the body as the larynx, intestines, heart, and velum, to name but a few. Three

including the musculus uvulae, levator veli palatini, salpingopha­ryngeus, palatopharyngeus, and the superior and middle pharyn­geal constrictor muscles. Damage to the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve can affect the movement of the velum. For instance, unilateral damage to this branch can result in the affected side of the velum hanging visibly lower than the other side. In most cases, unilateral damage usually does not result in hypernasal speech because the velar muscles on the unaffected side usually will be able to raise the velum sufciently to ensure adequate velopharyn­geal closure on nonnasal phonemes.
However, bilateral damage to the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve can have a very signicant effect on resonance. (Remem­ber, bilateral damage means that both the left and right branches of a nerve have been injured in some manner.) When the damage is bilateral, nearly all the muscles of the velum will demonstrate weakness or paralysis. The result will be speech with moderate to severe hypernasality. In addition, the pressure consonants (stops, fricatives, and affricates) might be weak and distorted because of the nasal emission of air through the unsealed velopharyngeal port.
External Superior Laryngeal Nerve Branch The external supe-
rior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve innervates the cricothy­roid muscle of the larynx. This muscle helps to stretch and tense the vocal folds during speech. As a consequence, this muscle is essential in controlling vocal pitch. Unilateral damage to this nerve branch usually results in only modest difculty in varying pitch. However, bilateral damage can cause signicant problems. When the damage is bilateral, the cricothyroid muscle’s ability to stretch and tense the vocal folds is greatly reduced. In such cases, an affected individual’s voice might exhibit decreased loudness and increased breathiness, and the individual could have notable dif­culty in changing vocal pitch.
Recurrent Nerve Branch This branch of the vagus nerve gets
its name from the “double-back” route it travels from the brain­stem to the larynx. The recurrent nerve branches from the vagus nerve after it leaves the cranium and then courses down near the heart before turning upward, traveling up along the trachea until it nally reaches the larynx. The recurrent nerve supplies the motor innervation to all the intrinsic muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid muscle, which is innervated by the external superior laryngeal nerve. The recurrent nerve is a vital contributor to phona­tion because it supplies the motor innervation for all the adductor and abductor muscles of the vocal folds.
Unilateral damage to the recurrent nerve will cause the vocal fold on the affected side to be xed in the paramedian position,

which means that the fold is halfway between being fully adducted or fully abducted. An individual with unilateral vocal-fold paralysis will have breathy phonation and decreased vocal loudness. Bilat­eral damage to the recurrent nerve can x both vocal folds in the paramedian position. When both vocal folds are in this position, they probably will still be close enough together to permit phona­tion on exhalation. However, this phonation will be very breathy and hoarse. Phonation on inhalation (inhalatory stridor) also might be evident because the vocal folds are xed in this position during inhalation as well as exhalation.
Accessory Nerve (XI)
The accessory nerve is unique in that it is not a “pure” cranial nerve. It also contains neurons that branch out from the spinal cord. The cranial neurons of this nerve originate in the medulla just below the vagus nerve (Figure 4–7). In fact, many of its motor neuron axons merge with the vagus nerve shortly after they leave the medulla. These cranial motor neurons from the accessory nerve, working in conjunction with the vagus nerve, help innervate the intrinsic muscles of the velum, pharynx, and larynx. The spinal components of the accessory nerve supply motor innervation for the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles. Because the neu­rons of this cranial nerve are so closely integrated with those of the vagus nerve, it is practically impossible to separate the functions of the two. In nearly all instances, damage to the cranial compo­nents of the accessory nerve will affect the vagus nerve as well and vice versa.
Hypoglossal Nerve (XII)
The hypoglossal cranial nerve originates in the medulla and courses to the tongue (Figure 4–8). This cranial nerve provides the motor innervation for all the intrinsic and most of the extrinsic muscles of the tongue. Unilateral damage to the hypoglossal cranial nerve results in weakness or paralysis in the half of the tongue that is on the same side as the nerve damage. If the damage is severe enough, the tongue muscles on the damaged side will eventually atrophy, leaving that half of the tongue shrunken. Furthermore, when the tongue is protruded, it will deviate toward the affected side because only half of the posterior genioglossus muscle is being contracted. Bilateral damage to the hypoglossal nerve will result in overall weakness of the tongue, reduction in the range of tongue move­ment, and muscle atrophy on both sides of the tongue.

innervation from the upper motor neurons. This means, for exam­ple, that most of the innervation for the right hypoglossal nerve comes only from the upper motor neurons of the corticobulbar tract that are in the left hemisphere of the brain. Damage to those left upper motor neurons will result in weakness in the right side of the tongue. Conversely, damage to the right upper motor neurons will result in weakness in the left side of the tongue.
Imprecise articulation is the primary characteristic of an indi ­vidual with hypoglossal nerve damage. In cases of unilateral damage, the articulatory distortion will probably be mild because the unaf­fected side of the tongue can usually compensate for the weakened movements of the impaired side. Bilateral damage, however, can

The spinal nerves originate along the length of the spinal cord, from the cervical and thoracic sections down to the lumbar region. Many of the spinal nerves serve an important role in motor speech
