Of all the cranial nerves...

It's 3 days before my Human Anatomy final and I'm here, in front of my computer, making a blog. It's not like it's absolutely urgent that this get done right away. But you know how it is, between passing a class and avoiding the studying needed to pass the class... I'd usually pick the avoiding. I'm good at that. Avoiding things I mean. I've done it a lot in my life. Of course there will be lots of time to dig deep into my psyche. That's what this is for.


So hence the odd blog title & username. Hypoglossal. It's the 12th and last cranial nerve. It controls tongue movement. It seems a good a name as any. I mean without out tongue life would be pretty difficult. Everyone says it's the brain and the heart that are the center of it all. But the tongue is pretty damn important too. Not more important than, say, the lungs but more important than that finger that just got chopped off. Just a thought, a reminder: to remember the little guys every once in a while. It wouldn't kill you.
