While the t-test is used to compare the means between two groups, ANOVA is used to compare means between 3 or more groups. There are several varieties of ANOVA, such as one-factor (or one-way) ANOVA, two-factor (or two-way) ANOVA, and so on, and also repeated measures ANOVA.
If you recall, CN VII is responsible for taste sensation in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Well, it's the glossopharyngeal nerve, also known as cranial nerve IX, that is the nerve responsible for the sensation of taste in the posterior one-third of the tongue. In addition, cranial nerve IX is a nerve that innervates one of the three major salivary glands, called the parotid gland.
Chapter 7 - Lower cranial nerve function. The lower cranial nerves are involved in pharyngeal and laryngeal function as well as in movements of the neck and tongue. Damage usually manifests as problems with speech and swallowing.These nerves arise from the medulla and, in the case of the accessory nerve (CN XI), the spinal cord.These nerves are commonly affected by conditions damaging the medulla, but bilateral damage to corticobulbar connections can create motor problems that affect tongue and pharynx movement and speech.oth the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves (CN IX and X) have taste and somatic sensory functions that are not routinely examined. However, the taste function in the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) can be examined if there is suspicion of damage to the nerve (vagus nerve taste function cannot be tested).
