A

small pit at apex of sulcus terminalis

42
Q

dorsum

A

superior and posterior roughened aspects of tongue

43
Q

sublingual surface

A

covered with thin, transparent muscosa thru which you can see many underlying vessels

44
Q

lingual frenulum

A

fold of mucous membrane; from the floor of mouth, to inferior surface of tongue

45
Q
