| vertical muscle of tongue | An intrinsic muscle of the tongue, consisting of fibres that pass from the aponeurosis of the dorsum to the aponeurosis of the inferior surface; action, decreases the superior to inferior dimension of (flattens) the tongue; nerve supply, hypoglossal for motor, lingual for sensory. Synonym: musculus verticalis linguae. (05 Mar 2000) |
