your amazing tongue


                         DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR AMAZING TONGUE?



Human tongue is one of the most sensible organ.It has no bone attachment &  richly filled with nerves and blood vessels.Our tongue is pale pink in color.Shape of our tongue can not be determined,it is roughly an inverted triangle in shape .The end of tongue is its tip then is becomes narrower and at end it is broader.The right and left side if tongue is separated by a thin fibrous tissue called  lingual septum ( a mild groove like structure).
Our tongue is attached to hyoid bone in the floor of mouth.This bone is attached to the root of tongue ,in front of the neck between the lower jaw (mandible) and cartilage of  larynx.



Our tongue handles many functions.It is main organ to distinguish between the taste.It also plays an important role in speech & helps in swallowing process,also to prevent food from coming out the mouth.It cleans the teeth also.

TASTE BUDS IN TONGUE



As we all know taste buds are present in tongue,but we are not aware of the taste buds name and the region where taste belongs to.Now we will see it clearly here.There are three taste buds present in our tongue.They are fungiform papillae,filiform papillae and circumvallate papillae.Each papillae has each job of taste to carry on.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF TONGUE?

  • Should not scrape hardly,as you tend to hurt your tongue
  • Use non alcoholic mouthwash,to remove retained plaque in tongue
