The first pair of four occipital myotomes degenerate.Myoblasts from the remaining three myotomes migrate from the occipital region to the floor of the pharynx and form the striated muscles of the tongue,with the exception of the palatoglossus muscle.The hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)supplies all the muscles of the tongue except for the palatoglossus muscle,which is supplied by the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve (CN X).
