Muscles of the tongue are invested by the 12th cranial nerve, Hypoglossal. The 10th cranial nerve, vagus supplies the viscera of the thorax, abdominal region and thus controls gastrointestinal, cardiac movements and pancreatic secretion.

Question

Accepted Answer

The vagus nerve controls pancreatic secretion.. The vagus nerve does supply many thoracic and abdominal viscera and influences cardiac and gastrointestinal activity. However, pancreatic secretion is not typically listed as a primary vagus function in this context, making that statement the correct choice to identify as the exception/targeted answer.
